I am pleasantly shocked that newbie writer (this film his 3rd) and director (this film his 2nd) Won-Tae Lee came up with this outstanding little gem!
Apparently this film is based on true events, which that alone is enough to pique anyone's interest.
Lee's directing was in par with seasoned Hollywood directors. I'm not a fan of slow-mo shots, but his were few and well placed.
His writing was excellent, especially towards the ending, but I felt the pacing could of been a little better in the first half, and/or the 109 min. run-time edited/cut down to around 90 mins.
The cinematography was good, the score on point, and the casting great, with an exceptional and comical performance by Don Lee.
It's a well deserved 9/10 from me
