the film is definitely good and woodley packs a very very convincing performance. please dont mind the agenda warfare this film has nothing of hat sort in it. instead yes it has everything that looks like has an agenda but trust me there is none. i absolutely enjoyed the film and i encourage others to give this a go as well. nice crisp film

Because i don't know the comic book story and lore i am free of the burden of knowledge, but if ever a debate about FREE WILL VS DETERMINISM debate had a near perfect dramatization.. It was here.. All jolts and jostles uniformly pointing out to a singular culmination of an over arching eons old debate. FREE WILL vs DETERMINISM. There are no answers to such fluid diametrically contrarian adages. There's no good and bad.. The only resolution is the existence in Present and loki creators got it right down to the last possible iota in an honest attempt in dramatizing the debate. Absolutely loved it. This has been one of the rarest endings which has left people or should I say myself in a place where I should be in which is In The Flux without giving any concrete resolutions to rely upon. The amount of forethought and afterthought that has gone into depicting the debate is just beyond praise. Once again absolutely loved it.

Just finished watching Deliver Us From Evil-(2020 Korean film) , a very engaging tale one that attempts to get as real as it can whilst yet maintaining the fabric of fictional reality. In a film dominated by psychopaths of various degrees, painting anyone with any moral obligation goes out of the window yet, the protagonist is intrinsically imbued with a modicum of morality and is stricken with a gust of hope, especially at a juncture in his life when he absolutely has no utility of hope. The film being designed as a high octane action thriller obviously delivers on that front to a large extent but what it also exhibits is the story writers carefully placed bread crumbs of hope placed all along the journey of the protagonist, thus it also gives us as an audience the chance to see the protagonist's frantic attempt and yearning for redemption as he keeps taking those bread crumbs desperately to have some meaning to his life. I might be exaggerating with the moral aspect of the film, perhaps eulogising too, to a certain extent. The reality or the lack of it thereof is again beautifully done. Its been done before, it's been done almost neatly in here too, nothing of major importance. Action choreography is as expected of korean gangster films. Although fight cinematography of Hong Kyung Po employs the ever so known jittery camera technique but its not bad. Infact the shaky camera work at least lets us see the punches land and the knives disembowel the participants, so yeah not bad but not good too. The film boasts of a stellar pair of lead actors, especially the leads. This marks the reunion of hwang jung min and lee jung jae after new world (2013), another gem of a film. Apart from them no one was that significant. In conclusion its a regular action flick and no more, doesn't intend to be preachy where violence is made commonplace and justifications for bloodshed are hardly essential. My rating 3.5
