 Jung ("Action Boys") fails to sustain the breakneck momentum of these early bravura sequences. There's a lot of chutzpah on display throughout the film, even during essentially soggy, dialogue-intensive sequences, which are broken up by disorienting flashbacks. But Jung's biggest failing is his inability to make Sook-hee a heroine worth caring about.  Byung’s inability to string together a coherent narrative is nearly offset by his gift for staging some bonkers scenes of death and destruction. It’s amazing how quickly a movie can spark back to life when a woman in a wedding dress fishes a sniper rifle from the filter of a restaurant toilet Michael Corleone style and starts shooting off someone’s sunglasses from half a mile away. The magic is in the details, like the way that Sook-hee hits the people around her target so they fall over and give her a cleaner view. There’s an incredible motorcycle fight in there, even if it’s hard to say who’s fighting. And then there’s the climactic car chase that starts with a car crash and builds to some passenger seat ballet that’s on par with the best of “Baby Driver.” Byung-gil Jung’s revengesploitation film is overstuffed and overcooked, lurching between melodrama, satire and kung fu grindhouse. At one point, the film turns into a K-drama style romcom, handsome, sensitive, devoted love interest and all (never mind the fact that he’s also Sook-hee’s handler, unbeknown to her). Not all of it comes together, but its balls-to-the-wall approach is riotous fun to behold, especially a climactic set piece involving apocalyptic rain, a bus, a machete and a self-driving car. Scrambling to keep up is part of the fun, but nowhere near as much fun as the parts where the film settles on a good idea for a set-piece and just gallops with it. Among the best are a sword fight on speeding motorbikes which has to be seen to be believed and a gory set-to in a geisha parlour, with Sook-hee and a female colleague working undercover as two belles de jour and blood spraying around like freshly popped Prosecco.
