Review of The Killer

The Killer (2022)
5/10
Good fights, bad plot, but loses in trying to be a Korean John Wick.
13 October 2022
Let's start with the positives: action scenes are well produced, the locations are well done and the music doesn't get in the way. However, while the film shines on the action everything else is average to below.

The plot is the worst aspect of the film. The story is very convoluted and does not convince us in terms of believability. Another aspect that leaves something to be desired is the pace. Even with less than 90min it seems that we are seeing a work with twice the duration.

Other reviews have already mentioned, but the influence of John Wick more hinders than helps the film. Most of the fights would benefit from the melee weapon tradition of Korean films rather than the firearms of the Americans.

All in all, a very mediocre film 5/10.
