Another Korean hit !
Having already seen this before its release here, it features the brilliant acting of Min-sik Choi, 'the guy from old boy' ! Also features Seung-beom Ryu who was seen in the western world on DVD in the film Arahan.
The story is about two guys, one convict, the other a retire washed up boxer, the storytelling is really really perfect, there are basically two stories being told on the lifes of the two leads as they both enter a boxing competition. You feel for both charactors and the twist of the storytelling unlike other boxing movies is that the two 'good guy' leads do not meet until the final showdown of the film when they face eachother, you are left watching the screen not knowing who to cheer for, who is going to win or what is going to happen... and neither am I going to tell you, a great twist on sports story telling, even if you dont like boxing this is a must see.
The acting is excellent, some parts drag but overall you wont feel cheated after the credits are rolling. -

Knock-Out
Quick review... Ready ?
Old Boy meets Rocky - it's as simple as that.
However, this is a great film and worth a watch. -
