Joe Barton is turning into one of my favourite television creatives. What a run!
-GIRI/HAJI -THE LAZARUS PROJECT -THE BASTARD SON & THE DEVIL HIMSELF -BLACK DOVES MERCY FOR NONE [mini-series] ★★★★☆
If you’re looking for a TV show in the vein of OLDBOY, this is for you. Seven episode about an ex-gangster who comes out of exile after his brother is killed. He cuts a swathe through the South Korean underworld to find the culprits. It is a hardcore thriller. The action is pounding! ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER ★★★★★
Two hours 41 minutes are not enough. Utterly amazing! Builds on the source novel, improves on it. A mesmerising action-thriller. The climactic chase lasts about 25 minutes. Electrifying. Within a week I watched again, in VistaVision. Also saw the print so soon after release before it wears out. Epic and claustrophobic. Relentless energy. |
