the movie is the exact copy of TDK and is just as ridiculous as TDK too.
1) It suffers really heavily from COPS are idiot syndrome, just like in the TDK so no one else can do any detective work? Everyone else is incompetent except the hero? Both movies made everyone else look like bumbling fools.
2) Both movies the hero can 1 hit knock out and put people in hospitals, but when they attack the villain they seem to recover instantly, the joker took 100 hits from Batman and he just kept on ticking, in this movie the Oldboy dude got his arm broken, tendon cut, head smashed on rocks and he just kept on going, while the Hero put that couple in the hospital with just a few hits.
3) In both movies the Villain seems to be able to go anywhere and do whatever they want, in TDk, Joker can just magically get vats of explosives into warehouses/hosiptals/ships, like its that easy to move explosives around post 9/11 era. In this movie hes able to go just about anywhere he like despite looking like a zombie, no one else seems to call the police on him, and some how he was even able to get into the Captain's home, when the captain is the one who supplied Kim Soo with his picture, and the captain was the one who was most scared of him/situation, yet he let him in the house?
both movies really ask the audience to check their brain cells at the door if they want to enjoy this film.
4) Both movie seems to rely on use of Ultra Violence to shock the audience into believing there is some sort of realism to it all. Sorry but more violence and more gore onscreen in a film, doesn't mean your movie is great and intelligent, it just means you couldn't write out a real story and build real suspense to captivate the audience, so you fell back on the lowest common denominator, which was just elevate the acts of violence.
My film professor basically explained it this way, is it hard to get the audience's attention in a film? NO, if you want the cheap and easy route in captivating your audience just throw in the Porn, the sex, and the drugs and the violence, instantly you will have them captivated, but does that mean you wrote a good story and made a good movie? Sorry doesn't work like that.
