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.

A sufficiently satisfying conclusion. Despite the long runtime, it actually doesn’t drag.

To those who may miss the plandemic and the masks this coming Christmas, fret not.

Tries to be some sort of thriller but fails.

A comedy about an assassin and his assistant told to lay low and not kill anyone. Could be funnier but still a solid film that is enjoyable.
