Viewing Notes

aka Night of the Assassin, which is so much better than the generic title.

An odd Korean actioner that looks more like Japanese DTV movie from the early to mid ‘00s. Super cheap and lots of bad wigs. The story is quite simple and straightforward tho the humor sprinkled in places is weird.

This is closer to a 5 but I dug it and appreciate the effort on the small budget. Was glad this movie retained the original Korean language via hoopla.
