Jin Jang's "Guns and Talks" aus dem Jahr 2001 erzählt im Groben vom Alltag 4 ungleicher Profikiller, die gemeinsam in einer WG leben und ihrem Job nachgehen, allerdings mehr und mehr von einem hartnäckigen Ermittler in die Enge getrieben werden.
Die Einführung anfangs der 4 Hauptprotagonisten, die ein eigenwilliger aber sympathischer Haufen sind, ist recht amüsant. Gespielt werden sie von Shin Hyeon-jun, Shin Ha-kyun, Won Bin ( hier in seinem Film-Debüt zu sehen ) und Jung Jae-young, sind also allesamt mit guten Darstellern prominent besetzt. Der Cast agiert dabei sehr sympathisch und ist mit Spaß bei der Sache.
Die vorhandenen Actionszenen aber sind gut inszeniert. Anfangs gibt es eine tolle Einstellung, als ein Projektil sich seinen Weg durch Autoscheiben bahnt,…
Tonally all over the place my god the funny moments were REALLY funny tho also bb Won Bin *hearts in eyes emoji*
Guns & Talks is a Korean crime-comedy about a team of 4 assassins (two of whom are brothers) who try to attempt a perfect kill for the client before a detective catches up with them. It is, as you might expect, a bit wacky, a bit dark, and a bit good.
Bin Won plays what could be considered the protagonist and his slightly more naive outlook on life is what leads to most of the humour in the film. Not all the humour, as there's plenty of dark comedy particularly from some of the assassinations.
The characters are just varied enough to make them all interesting with performances to match. It escalates towards a stupendous culmination that makes the whole film worth watching for on its own, even without the delightful 90 minutes that precedes it.
Personally one of my favorite korean films. Highly stylish, this action dark comedy brings a different take on assassins and their motto...the cast is a great list of who's who's in Korea...it's nice to see won bin in one of his earliest roles as well as shin ha-kyun gong hyo-jin..
I thoroughly had fun watching this film. Directed by Jang Jin, who I have already watched a movie from lately called “Man On High Heels”, which I enjoyed that film as well. I do not know why but this film had a mix of seriousness with bits of comedy thrown in and it works. I laughed during most of the film. I could not believe what I was seeing because the trailer makes it out to be like this action drama, but it is not really, which I am glad that Jang Jin threw in some comedy because that caught me off guard. Staring Shin Hyun-Joon from “Kiss Me Kill Me”, Won Bin from the masterpiece “The Man From Nowhere”,…
Ein doch leider recht öder und zu lang geratener Film über eine 4 Mann Killer-WG.
Die Kill‘s sind ganz nett inszeniert und die Schauspieler tun ihr bestes aber es ist für mich eine unrunde Sache.
