Great movie!

I havn't seen many Korean movies, but luckily the first one I ever watched was this one! The story follows four young assassins who, apart from killing people as a profession, are like ordinary people with sometimes less-than-perfect lives. The Korean humour is just spot on and Jin Jang perfectly masters the balance between action, humour and character development. Maybe Hollywood should start paying attention to the quality of films being produced abroad...

Popcorn flick

'Group of assassins-for-hire take on a job they're not sure they can handle.' The concept sounds interesting enough, like a small budget Mission Impossible with an added dimension of self-doubt. Surely there'll be lots of creativity and sharp action on show to make up for big set pieces or things not going BOOM? Well....there isn't. If you're expecting this you'll be sadly disappointed.

Not nearly as dramatic, explosive, comedic or poignant as other recent Korean exports, but then again it doesn't aim to be. Guns & Talks is a popcorn movie at its core, the kind you'd watch to burn an hour or two.

For all the skeptics out there who want EVERYTHING from a movie, there's plenty to hate on here. Unconvincing CGI explosions. Soundtrack that sound like a MIDI enthusiast having a go on his keyboard, whilst decent, doesn't fit. In terms of Cinematography it looks more like a well-put together school project than a professional piece of cinema.

Whilst the main cop is a great stone-faced no-nonsense character the others left a little something to be desired. While there's a decent scene here and there and the humour's pretty consistent throughout, it's ultimately unremarkable and inessential. Sure, you could watch it if you had nothing else to do, but surely you could watch something better instead.

For something titled 'Guns & Talks' there's no a lot of firing at all and the dialogue is nothing special. If GUNS is what you're looking for then you should certainly check out The Killer or Hard Boiled.
