Excellent sci-fi action flick from South Korea. This is a throwback to 10 years ago when the greatest South Korean blockbusters were made. It has everything a fan can expect from this genre. It's got a great storyline about a main character who loses his memory, doesn't remember who he is and wakes up in a different body every 12 hours. While he's trying to figure out what's going on and why, there are some very bad people after him. I believe that with an even better director, even bigger find-fuck things could have been conjured from the premise, but the director bet more on the action and I'm happy with this one. The plot in question is explained clearly and there are a few plot twists, so by action standards I think it's very superior. The protagonist is likeable and he’s good in the fight scenes. It's very much Bourne style, with fast exchanges of moves, quick combinations, devastating blows, exactly what only Koreans can do, and he shows it here to a great extent. The finale, on the other hand, is a tribute to John Wick, with bloody headshots, the protagonist alone against everyone, various combat weapons, great music and awesome atmosphere. I was a bit disappointed with the final boss, I was expecting more destruction there, but I’m definitely satisfied on all counts. The traditionally excellent visuals and fine actors are already a given. I'm really happy about it.
