The Target (2014) is yet another cool action movie coming from South Korea.
As many other South Korean thrillers, the movie shows great sequences, super stunts, cool chases, bloody fist fights, fine acting and relentless fast paced action.
On the other hand, maybe is because i have seen a lot of cinema from South Korea, but i feel that the plot was a little bit predictable, so for me the twist was not that shocking. However, if you are looking for an above the average action flick this movie is just the right thing to watch.

Another solid movie from South Korea
Đánh giá
Compare with another Korean action film, I think this film is better than older. The thing give me the most attention is the main actor emotion and his acting. But I think, the director did not want to put all their attention on the main character but rather focus to doctor. So the main actor doesn't have many scenes. The best scene of main actor as I remember is when he take infor from gang and when he came from outside police station (Really I've looking for more action scene this time, but it was not.
Any way I'm looking for more and more tried from Korean action movie like this or better.
Sensational!
Captivating from the very first second! This fast-paced action thriller offers very good action scenes and nail biting suspense.
There are maybe too many conveniences for one film, but bloody hell, this was entertaining! The film is very unpredictable and also very emotional at times. The acting was really good. Great editing too. The plot thickened every step of the way, adding more mystery as the film progressed. Seung-ryong Ryu is so good and likable as the anti-hero hero. Jin Goo was equally good as his brother.
'The Target' is right up there with the best Korea has to offer. This was sensational!
