MAL-MO-E: the Secret Mission (2018) ☆☆(2/4): Saving Korean language
South Korean film “MAL-MO-E: The Secret Mission” bored and depressed me. Although I was a little interested at first due to its important historical subject, I was quite disappointed as watching its trite and blatant attempt to squeeze laughs and … Continue reading
Take Point (2018) ☆☆(2/4): Mindless and pointless with lots of shakings and shootings
South Korean film “Take Point”, which was released in South Korea as “PMC: The Bunker” yesterday, is a mindless and pointless action thriller movie filled with lots of shakings and shootings. To be frank with you, I am still confused … Continue reading
