Kim Hong-sun directed the South Korean science fiction horror film. Starring Seo In-guk, Jung So-min, Choi Gwi-hwa, and others.
An operation to extradite Korean criminals from the Philippines ended in the deaths and injuries of innocent passengers, cops, and criminals when a grieving loved one of one of the victims of criminals carried out a suicide bombing at the airport. Long after, South Korean authorities deploy cops to repatriate Korean criminals from the Philippines, this time by cargo ship.
These criminals are extremely violent. Unbeknownst to them, a deformed man with super strength is being shipped onboard, and he needs injections every six hours. The next frames show convicts releasing themselves and savagely assaulting officers, chewing off ears, bashing skulls with hammers, handcuffs, and other blunt objects. Meanwhile, the monster has awakened, unleashing considerably more agonizing attacks on criminals and officers, shocking them all.
I can't believe I missed this gem. Perhaps because I took a break from movie watching for a few years, I missed numerous movies and am now attempting to catch up on them. Anyway, this was really a surprise to me. I read a brief synopsis of criminals being extradited, and I thought, "This will be fun." However, I had twice the enjoyment here because the film depicted two wicked groups.
Hong-sun has stupefied us on numerous occasions. He depicts mystery within mystery, how even insane and psychotic people dread for their own demise when the time comes, no matter how much they mock their victims' helplessness. I give the film a favorable score, and I would have given it five stars, but the end did not make it impeccable. It hinted to a sequel, of which there has been no word.

It's not a bad movie, but it's very cheap, and there are a few flaws. The plot is not clear, it was interesting to watch, but I would not watch this movie again

A redundant, unimaginative offering written by what must have been juvenile, rabid primates. Calling the violence and gore gratuitous doesn't convey how repetitive and unoriginal the violence and gore is. There are better offerings to stream.

As much as I love movies, I quite enjoyed this one. It's great if you want a slightly cheesy Korean horror movie.
Unfortunately quite a few things happened that made me not like the movie, but the one thing that really made me be thrown off was when Lee Da-yeon was brutally killed off. You root for her, Do-li, and the other 2 from the get-go. However, she is simply killed off before getting to safety. Another thing was the "dead" (I say dead because everyone else was presumed death except Do-li was alive) bodies are fed to pigs, bodies that were pumped full of chemicals that give superpowers, being fed to animals that you have no idea if they'll get those powers.
The "monster" / Alpha having a regenerative of sorts ability (shown when he pulls the bullet out of his body, it stops bleeding and sorta looks like it's healing) however then being killed off. His arm stops bleeding after the detective bits / slices it off. Do-li also having stopped bleeding, even though he was partially stabbed, when Alpha had sliced at him. Not much to be said about regenerative, but they do all show at least some sort of ability to stop bleeding. This leads me to the climax of the movie, Alpha simply doesn't stop bleeding? But some how Do-li, who survives until the end of the film, stops bleeding.
I do hope this movie gets a sequel as I want to see the continuation of Do-li's story and if he gets his son back.
