Day 243 - A.F.R.I.K.A. (Korean)

A.F.R.I.K.A. film poster.jpg

"Two young women, Ji-won and So-hyun, go on a road trip in a car borrowed from So-hyun's boyfriend; however, unknown to them the car is in fact stolen and contains a case of guns belonging to a corrupt police officer and gangster. The women discover the guns and initially believe them to be fakes, but after accidentally shooting out the car's back window and attracting the attention of local police, they are forced to continue their journey on foot. Ji-won and So-hyun find that life on the road can be dangerous, and resort to using guns to get themselves out of trouble. Along the way they are joined by Jin-ah, a sales clerk, and Young-mi, a dabang girl, and after several robberies the quartet end up being pursued by the police and the gangsters who want their guns back. However, their exploits turn them into media superstars with their own website and fanclub, the Adoring Four Revolutionary Idols Korean Association (A.F.R.I.K.A.), which leads to a series of copycat crimes perpetrated by their fans."

This film was made over 12 years ago and is still good. I'm surprised that I haven't heard about it until I saw it on Huluplus. This is an action flick that should appeal to woman all around the world not just men. The women are beautiful and decent actress in the film but many years later they would all grow to be better actresses. It was nice to see how these four grew as actresses and I hope to see more of their films. I suggest this action flick to those that like action movies with female leads.

2.7/5
