WOL F PACK, Directed by Michael Chiang*

 

The beginning sets us up for real suspense. A bus ride for a young man ends up in havoc for him. He is pushed out of the bus and his attacker throws his backpack over a bridge in the water.

The young man is a doctor and he’s forced to operate on a man under secrecy in a tent. He is now involved with mercenaries and he must fight with them. A special kind of gun marked with an insignia seems to be the reason the gang is fighting – to get that gun.The secret over this special gun just didn’t hold any suspense, and delaying the revelation that the head mercenary  knows the young man through his dead father was revealed too late in this Korean film. For the young man, it holds the answer to his father’s death. The film was boring and moved too slow.  The plot weird, and the acting dull. It all could have moved much faster. Furthermore, confusion trumped the great fight scenes.
