Day 67 - The Foul King (South Korea)



"Im Dae-ho (Song Kang-ho) has been a huge fan of professional wrestling since his childhood. In South Korea, a wrestler called Kim Il was a big star in the 1970s, but Dae-ho preferred a cheating fighter called Ultra Tiger Mask. Years later, when his job at a bank isn't going well, Dae-ho decides to try professional wrestling himself."


A very nice film that borderlines on weird, I really didn't like the ending of the film. It was alright but if you like wrestling movies then this is for you.
The one thing that I did really like was the fight between Im Dae-ho and Yoo Be-ho towards the end of the film. It was like watching a lower level WWE brawl fight. Besides that there were not a lot of good moments. Honestly the fights were the only part besides the awkward/misunderstood romance between Jang Jin-young and Song Kang-ho's characters that never really goes anywhere.

This was Jang Jin-young's second movie ever, she was very good in this film. It is quite sad that she died so young.


2/5
