K-drama ● Review: Rugal
Robocopped team tries to take down criminal organization. Overly simplistic and cheesy. Plot and characters lack dimension.

K-drama ● Review: Taxi Driver
Vigilantes solve and fight crime. Generally good pacing, acting and production, making an entertaining and satisfying series.

K-drama ● Review: The Last Empress
Twist-filled mystery/thriller about the corrupt imperial family in alternative present-day Korea. Ridiculous but addictive.

K-drama ● Review: Happiness
Interesting enough take on zombies with obvious social commentary. Nothing special but well executed in most respects.

Film Review: Unlocked
Unlocked is basically another Taken-like action-thriller. Nothing particularly bad but nothing particularly good either.

K-drama ● Review: All of Us Are Dead
A decent drama with solid performances from a young cast, but it is another zombie survival-horror caused by a virus.

K-drama ● Review: Squid Game
Another game show survival thriller. Although generally predictable, it is amusing. Good production but I wouldn’t rave about it.

K-drama ● Review: The Silent Sea
Despite some weaknesses in the opening and in characterizations, it is a well-produced sci-fi thriller that is interesting enough.

K-drama ● Review: Hellbound
A supernatural force kills people whilst religious fanatics take advantage. Tries too hard, but well-paced with some dramatic suspense.

Film ● Mini-Review: Angel Has Fallen
This time, Mike Banning is framed and he has to run. Definitely the weakest of the trilogy.

Film ● Mini-Review: Polar
The production itself isn’t bad, maybe tries a little too hard. Either way, the action scenes are not dazzling.

Bodyguard film that tries to be gritty but lacks plot and action.

Film ● Mini-Review: Peppermint
Tries to be a gritty vigilante-revenge film but execution is lacking. The action and logistics just feel awkward.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Commuter
Not intended to be a shoot ’em up but rather a mystery-thriller. Starts off a little trippy but becomes a little too predictable.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Equalizer 2
Instead of thugs, McCall is going up against skilled operatives like himself. Lacks the energy and emotional satisfaction of the first film.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Foreigner
Not supposed to be a shoot ’em up but it still works. Good to see Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan not be typecasted.

Highly stylized Cold War spy action-thriller. Looks good. Can use better signposting regarding the end.
