Wow! I have been surprised AND delighted with watching several SUPERB Korean action crime movies the last couple of weeks and I must declare (!) that the South Korean directors and writers and actors are absolute masters at making these intense, true to life, riveting and dramatic gangster flicks!
The good: all these actors were (formerly) completely unknown to me, but what terrific acting performances they delivered, what charismatic actors they are, what great chemistry they have got. There are so many things to praise about this movie that is completely overlooked however on Imdb (with only 5 reviews!) Incredible!
Please somebody, anybody out there in the world of cinema distribution, please (RE)release these magnificent Korean crime dramas to the Western movie audience. They will LOVE it. They will EAT it up. Such high quality crime dramas! With only so few people who have seen it. ( I can only put blame on the terrible Corona epidemic with it's theatres closed for years for this dreadful lack of worldwide distribution)
Any bad? No! However the basic storyline of "A man of Reason" isnt particularly original, because this (father saves daughter) story has been told many times before, BUT the way in which it is told is simply superb! With true to life dialogues, with nailbiting supsenseful plot turns, with riveting over the top action and with a magnificent direction of such high quality.
I am in AWE!
Bravo!
