Seoul Raiders (2005)
Reviewed by: sharkeysbar on 2005-09-10
Summary: disappointing yet familiar
I admit that I didn't mind Tokyo Raiders, as it was a typical action movie, though in no way exceptionally good (or bad). However Seoul Raiders is a whole other story. It plods along, reminding me often of other (better or at least original) films. The story is weak, Shu Qi is Shu Qi and the music and slowed-action scenes seemed all too familiar.
I can't say I enjoyed it that much but it isn't all bad, it is probably what I expected as a sequel of sorts. I went into the cinema with low expectations and I guess it delivered, but I was also somewhat disappointed. This film could have been a whole lot more. This is not a film to rave about or wish to see again, I wouldn't recommend it to friends. I am yet to decide whether it is worth 90 minutes.... 3 out of 10.
