I watched "Deliver Us From Evil" last night. It's a good Action-packed movie. The fighting and knife scenes are really great, it was shot in a unique way. I can't comment on the cinematography, because there was nothing special about it. All I can say is that they worked hard to reduce shaky cam scenes to the minimum, it's almost unnoticeable. Concerning the individual performances "Hwang Jung-Min" is really good as a contract Assassin, he was ruthless and skillful, but I really missed his sense of humour in this movie. "Lee Jung-Jae" as a brutal villain is really eye-catching, he was fierce and his presence was really haunting, "Park Jung-Min" as a transgender was something special to watch. The low point of this movie (for me) was the storyline and the plot, there was clearly a lack of backstories to give the audience a hint on how the characters reached the present day. In simple words, there was almost no (Character Development). I feel like they should've gave this one more time. It gives you this weird feeling that you're not satisfied with the conclusion of the whole story. Overall I would say its an enjoyable experience as an action-packed movie, but unfortunately I wouldn't put on a top 10 list of korean movies released in 2020.
I will give it a rating of 7.5/10.

It's not that timeless masterpiece. But I'd say it's a really good Action movie, with a thrilling plot. The cinematography is really beautiful in this movie, the way they used different shades of colors was really fascinating. The inconclusive ending, leaves you hanging with a bitter taste and anxiously anticipating a sequel to the film. The only character I got attached to was "Jun-Seok", as his character stayed in the movie to the end and they showed us his development in a decent way. I also loved the performance of the Assassin "Han", he was ruthless and coldblooded. His emotionless eyes really haunted me for the whole time. I don't have much to say about the other characters as their role in the movie was ended really soon relatively. I'll give it a rating of 7/10. This was pretty much everything I wanted to say about the movie "Time To Hunt (2020)".

A Conflict between personal desires and fighting for the greater cause.

I really loved it.This movie ticked all the boxes for me. Solid performances and poetical dialogues, great cinematography and VFX, beautiful BGM and Soundtrack. And most importantly (for me), emotional and psychological attachments were shown very clearly. And the ending was compelling and realistic. Individual performances were the shining point of this movie, as always "Kim Yoon-Seok", adds uniqueness and value to every movie he's involved in. "Lee Byung-Hun", people say his character in this movie is bland, but I say his role requires to be like that and he really nailed the role and portrayed a very authentic and emotional character. "Park Hae-il", went from a wise and just king at the start of the movie to a frightened, mentally unstable person, then to a crumbling shadow, his change of mood throughout the movie was really outstanding. Overall I would give it a rating of 8/10.

Just finished watching "Kundo Age Of The Rampant". I really loved the way of epic narrative and the plot, which is not so dark and gloomy, but lightened with a little bit of black comedy. The BGM, soundtrack and cinematography, have really reminded me by the style of "Quentin Tarantino". Specially in "Kill Bill", and "Django Unchained". The Individual performances of "Ha Jung-Woo", and "Gang Dong-Won", have really surprised me. They both showed a different side of what I'm used to see them play in any of their movies. The Action choreography and Martial Arts in this movie reminded me of the way fighting scenes were used to be shot, in classic Martial Arts movies and I mean in a good way. Overall, it's a good Action/Historical movie, with a slight revenge plot. My personal rating would be 7.5/10.
