A scion with a clean style, a white face, and a fishy smile topped with humor that comes from strong self-confidence. The scion, who always kindly answers 'friend' to the question of who he is, is a 'pro' who has never missed a target. He kills people peacefully with a smile on his face, but becomes very annoyed and agitated when his limited edition luxury shoes are stained with blood.
'The Scion' (director Park Hoon-jung) portrays the characters of the early characters in a clear and attractive way. Narratives to lead the story are piled up and rice cakes are thrown. Through this, the questions given to the audience are sincerely collected after the middle and neatly dropped. Director Park Hoon-jung brilliantly unfolded his main specialty, 'action', in the film. The unique humor code that director Park is aiming for is mainly in the lines of the scion, and the batting average is quite high. Even though the breathtaking pursuit and action make your hands sweat, the lines of the scion burst into a pleasant laugh, and the pace control in the work is excellent.
In particular, the action scenes in the second half are definitely the highlight of this movie. Kim Seon-ho, who plays the scion, catches the eyes and ears by pouring out all the action, from fist fights to knife cutting and shooting. It feels like a god was created by Kim Seon-ho, by Kim Seon-ho, and for Kim Seon-ho. Kim Seon-ho's acting transformation, which showed an unfamiliar face throughout the movie, peaks through this action.
Kang Tae-joo in the role of Marco showed a realistic and unconventional performance that could be considered a real Kopino. It would not have been easy to digest the narrative of running away without knowing why, but he enhanced his persuasive power with his own potential. In the 1980s, he broke through the 1-to-1 competition and proved his ability to be cast.
Opening June 21st. Teenagers not allowed. Running time 118 minutes.
