The Witch: Part 1 - The Subversion

Movie: The Witch: Part 1 - The Subversion
Language: Korean
Media Partner: Nil
Source: Amazon Prime
DialR4Review RATED 6/10

The movie is very much templated in any sci-fi human experiment movie. The templated characters and story is saved by the twist and good action blocks in the second half. The lead to the second part is quite catchy. This is entertaining and no boring moments, but it gives the feeling that I am watching a movie which I had already watched. Go with low expectations and don't look for originality, then you can enjoy this action flick once. If you don't have any other movie to watch, then sit through this, else skip this one, you are not loosing anything.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

If you are looking for blood thirsting action with mindless characters, then this is the best choice. The story is average and the characters are below average, but the bloody violent makes me to recommend this one. The movie starts with one group of villains and ended with another set of villains. I did not feel any lagging and felt lot of censored moments. Some fight sequences start with half dead on the blood pool. Not sure the action choreography itself like that or it was censored. If you are not having stomach for full fledged gore moments, then definitely this one is not for you. This one is mindless action movie with only violent deaths.

Emergency Declaration

DialR4Review RATED 5/10

The movie start with superb conversation... It put the tone of the movie in right place. After that it started to derail inch by inch. The motive, plan and ending is completed in one hour of the movie.... After that whatever they did is seen in multiple hijack movies and it just dragged the movie... There is no applaudable moment in the second half and the length is really killing one. I was expecting more but the lack of imagination and following the template of hijack movies spoiled the fin. Definitely not worth the watch and felt like lost my weekend time with this lame one.

DialR4Review RATED 5/10

The movie started with some good action block and good CG work to explain the story baseline. After that the low budget and lack of depth is started visible in each and every frame. I started to watch because of director Yeon. He surprised everyone with train to Busan. And failed miserably in the next two ventures including this one. The reason for the decade long fight and the climax conclusion are total contradiction and didn't justify the whole lengthy experiment. Easily skippable one.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

Good sequel still there is no connection between the first part in story wise. They just reused the characters and made one good fictional action drama. The swag of Detective Ma worked very well and the action blocks in the regular intervals holds the audience attention. The Climax kidnapping sequence and Combat gives the full punch. The story and presentation is not new is still old wine in new bottle. The seriousness and comic is blended well in this crime action drama. Good action masala to enjoy in the weekend with full tub of popcorn.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

Slow burning investigative drama. The investigation and revelation of crime layer by layer is done very effectively. The twist, motive of murder and the characters are developed very well. The problem of the movie is length and dragged climax. Felt it is dead slow in the middle. The investigation angle and story is good but the way it is dragged is bit unacceptable. Be patient and adjust to the pace, this will be a good watch. The thriller and mystery part is handled very well. Worth the watch.

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

Based on good reviews I started this movie. It is so depressing and dark drama. The vengeance and the corresponding murders are so heavy to watch. It was lingering in mind for very long time after watch. The decision made for the situation and the result of events because of fate is captured brilliantly. The movie is bit slow in narration but the result of each action and resulting to crime/vengeance is presented so cleverly. Solid make and superb acting. If you want to see the realistic crime, this is the sure pick for you.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

Good old story (world war Z) in the new bottle and bottle is real eye candy. Literally the movie is filled with action blocks. Real gory and superficial action blocks. One man fight with army of people. All the fights are more or less same, either with gun or knife. What makes this movie and action more interesting is the camera work. The pseudo continuous shots and their angles adds very good flavour to this one. The unbelievable-illogical action becomes more entertaining with these camera angles. Remove all your logical questioning and enjoy this mindless action flick. Good popcorn entertaining for the weekend.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

Superb gangster action flick with no dull moments. I liked the presentation and Dong's character... his body language superbly fit for the ruthless cop. The decent story, good action blocks and crime backdrop are making it worth the watch. It was entertaining to the core and at the same time it is solid crime drama. Worth the watch...

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

This movie reminds me of "No Escape" in lot of places. As I dont know the history of the political feud beween N and S.Korea, couldnt enjoy/gel with the sentiment scenes. This is well crafted political escape with some fine acting. But the climax is unnecessarily stretched to add more masala... One time watchable political drama...

Another serial killer movie with cat-mouse chase sequences, but this time not artistic one.. Its pure masala and throughly enjoyable. The best part is the screen play is so racy. The cast and the climax is cherry on the cake. Perfect movie to watch in weekend with full bucket of popcorn.

Good time loop story with some good characterisations....All the good aspects of this movie is lifted in "Maanaadu". The movie was so thrilling till we get to know the reason. After that its become so dragging.... It is more of sentiment and actors did their job very well... One time watchable

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

Liked the first episode and it was so intriguing to continue the further episodes. Its pure entertaining series with some of the episodes are so predictable. The human emotions and situations makes it more interesting to watch. The Tamil translation is so good, not like crappy movie dubbing. Has lot of bad words and gory sequences.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

It is kind of mixed bag, some part i liked it and other part i felt very much bored. But overall it is average fare... Too much to understand from the sequences and cant recognise the characters in the first 30 mins, looks like all faces are same. It could have been more entertaining, if the movie flow is more understandable one.... i was in confused state for most of the time....
