A commercial movie with a predictable story and we like it
It is a typical commercial film, that seeks to entertain the viewers with its easy-to-digest action comedy. And it achieves the same even with its predictable storyline. We liked the right blending of the comedy with the action elements in the film. Especially, the funny scenes involving the husband Park Kang Moo (Hwang Jung-Min), the police detective Kang-Mi-Seon (Yum Jung-Ah) and her colleagues were good. Also, the writer Lee Myung Hoon has smartly managed to hide the identity of the main villain in the film.
Yum Jung-Ah, Hwang Jung-Min, Jeon Hye-Jin and others were good
Director Lee Myung Hoon deserves extra credit for giving us quite a few adrenaline-pumping action sequences. And, it is always fun to watch, when a team of trained husband-wife duo win against the heavily armed villains. We liked the concept of house-husband and the actor Hwang Jung-Min played it well. His on-screen chemistry with the actress Yum Jung-Ah has a touch of realism. And then there is a surprise element too. Moreover, we also liked the performances of Jeon Hye-Jin, Jeong Man-Sik, Lee Ho Chul and others too.
The conclusion
With the ending described in the spoilers below, it seems that the writer and director Lee Myung Hoon has kept his options open about the sequel. We will surely wait for his next film and watch it. To conclude, the twists and turns made it an enjoyable movie to watch.
