Choi Woo-shik, is 30 years old and has a brilliant career in Korean drama and film. In addition, she is a model with university studies in Canada, where she emigrated with her family and lived for a decade. He returned to Korea for a casting and immediately attracted attention.
His debut was in 2011 with “The Duo.” Choi can work on one or two tapes per year. We’ve already seen him in supporting roles in memorable works like Boon Joong-ho’s “Okaj” and “Parasite,” as well as Yeon Sang-ho’s “Train to Busan,” among many others.
Unlike “Parasite” where he plays an important role as the son of the Kim family, in “Time to hunt” he plays a marginal young man who is looking for dollars and participates, along with three friends, in the robbery of an orange blossom gambling house. controlled by the mafia.
The director, Yoon Sung-hyun is known in the West not only for his triumph at the Busan Festival with “Bleak Night” (where he was accompanied by actors Park Jung-min and Lee Je-hoon, shining in this story as members of the band).
We are facing an action movie (commercial), full of real achievements, and real downfalls. His achievements come from an avant-garde photography that does not disdain the use of daring shots, especially in the unforgettable scene of the robbery.
The four assailants know how to assume varied records that make them credible. They appear in almost all of the frames, either together or scrambled, and the viewer appreciates the potential.
The ending is also memorable.
The film’s setbacks are linked to a worn-out plot line where the shootings, the display and use of weapons of all caliber, the car chases, and the lack of coloring of many characters (including the psychopath), show clichés that are already outdated.
He is still on the billboard on the Netflix platform.
