Take Point

A taut, topical and technically superb thriller.

Take Point is brilliant work that, far from romanticizing the work of private military contractors normalizes it as just a very bad job.

Byung-woo has delivered a slick, entertaining package that manages to do something new with a lot of worn elements.

An unexpectedly rich exploration of broader political ills that the rise of modern mercenaries portend.

From the convoluted set-up to its preposterous finale, Kim Byung-woo's political action thriller defies logic and comprehension at every turn.
