Starts compelling enough. Tries to be dark and gritty. No shortage of splatter. Both the storytelling and visuals have taken its title to heart a bit too much.

Ex-assassin goes on a revenge hack-fest. Mostly looks fine. Pacing is not bad but overall not particularly captivating.

Not a bad lighthearted action-comedy. Enjoyable enough. Despite the premise, it is unfortunately not quite a stoner comedy.

The heroes play farmer in the first half, then get into a shootout with imperial forces in the second. Cheesy and clumsy like Part One.

Solid action-mystery-thriller drama with decent pacing and signposting. Moderately intriguing. Entertaining.

A rebel’s cheesy recruitment drive against evil imperial forces. Not totally cringe but only because I don’t expect much from Hack Snyder.

Not intended to be a fast-paced action-packed thriller. Steady pacing. Not overly stylized. Impersonal but still interesting enough.

Tries to be some sort of action-thriller but fails. Too many conveniences and inconsistencies. Can skip.

Tries to be the “cute young woman assassin taking on the yakuza” action-comedy. Tries too hard to look cool. And fails. Messy plotting.

There are quite a few clones and derivatives of Taken since its release in 2008. Here are 35 mini-reviews.

It is not an action fest but rather a character-driven film. Looks good and well-produced. Korean film or not, can be tightened a bit.
