English I expected more based on the excellent trailer, but I'm not really upset. The visuals are again top-notch, the acting is very good, especially Kyeong-gu Seol as the villain is excellent, but also the young Siwan, whom I hadn't heard of before, surprised me. There's not that much action, but when it comes to it the fights, they are properly gritty, the unexpected twists and turns in the plot are interesting, and I liked the prison scenes, so the individual segments are great stylistically, but overall I think it's better than good. I didn't enjoy it enough to go for 4*. 70%. ()
