Um homem de negócio (2012)

This movie is sleek and smooth, very polished from all ends, compact, simple and slow. It's hard to find anything to complain about, but there is nothing much to praise either. It's not a great movie, but it isn't a bad movie either. This is a good choice when you want to watch something entertaining, with hints of mystery and tragedy but nothing too serious. A Company Man is vague.

This is a story about a man and only about him, strictly from his perspective. It's as if the movie was written for So Ji Sub and if you are his fan this is a must see. But then again, if the main actor was someone else I would say the same thing. There is nothing special about the plot, but it's well thought with no holes or loose ends, the script and directing are flawless, acting is great too. There are no over the top bloody fighting scenes, no gore, no bloodbaths. Alongside the action there is a wonderful love story, it brings a certain balance.

The ending reminds me of a computer game, that's when I realized that this movie is soulless. It didn't stir any emotions in me, the plot is predictable and if you have watched enough Korean gangster movies you will guess the plot twist too. But as mentioned before, acting and scenery are superb so it's still worth watching just for the fun.

Well Dear friends if you like action...this movie has plenty!I love action movies! This one didn't let me down! Believe you me...there is plenty!

The story is interesting! Maybe there is a company like that in your town! How will lives be changed by their actions?

The Acting can't be better...there is Mr. So Ji Sub which I was looking forward to see how he would take on this character. Great performance didn't let me down. The characters will touch your heart!

I will definitely watch it over again...and again...and again...as I usually do with the ones I Love.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have...thanks to the friends here that led me to Dramacrazy to view it. You guys Rock!

I watched this because I loved "Heartless City" so much. This movie compares both favourably and unfavourably.

The action, if that's what you're looking for, is superb. The production quality and acting was also executed skilfully. I have no complaints on those topics. Actually, the main lead's acting and the action / gun fighting kept me watching this movie. The villain was also believably and horrendously villainous with a human side. This movie touches on the complexity of humanity's dark side.

But I skipped my ay through this movie. Why? Because the romance fell way flat. I like my movies and dramas and books to have a strong romantic presence... like "Heartless City". In this movie, the romance was used as a catalyst but it was not believable at all. Firstly, the identity of the woman was unbelievable - he would fall for her given who she was? Could have been done way better with a different woman (I don;t mean actress, I mean a different character entirely).

And the ending.... omg, no one could make me believe, even in dramaland which I am fond of and know my way around, that that ending happened. I mean, look at the scene before the last one and someone explain to me what the hell happened for it to turn out like it did in the 2nd to last and very last scene! If you watch it, you'd know what I mean.

It all could have been done better - except the action which was already excellent. I would rewatch the action scenes and the opening scene, bit nothing else.

PATHETIC FALLACY

Before you decide to watch this movie,
Read this carefully.

I'm gonna be brutally honest
This is the worst Korean movie I've ever seen.
A huge blunder.

There was no plot, it was so boring, I could just skip to 1:16:00 and watch it for 20 mins to understand what happens.
The direction was pathetic, the narration was even poorer and all above the acting was bland.
Now if you're a person who can watch anything as long as it's on-screen, I highly doubt this review is for you, but if you do care about a good plot and direction, this movie is just a waste of time.

Coming from ' A Man From Nowhere ' this movie is a huge disappointment. Ugh!

While the plot for this movie was not the most original, a hitman facing down those he worked with for a new life has occurred in plenty of other productions and some of them have been executed a little better than this one. However, this film was enjoyable and I couldn't believe how fast the time was passing. The biggest issue was the scripting for the movie - it was, occasionally, cliche. There were great action sequences, romance that was cute and awkward but the tension and thrill was not constant, falling somewhat between the faster paced sequences; if you are a viewer that highly enjoys action movies and you have seen quite a few (as I have) the plot became slightly predictable.
The cast however makes up for this wholeheartedly. So Ji Sub is an actor that I was already aware of as being good although that was in more romantic roles. I was pleasantly surprised that action suits him as well. His character was awkward and lacked harmony with the female lead at times, but that offset the action and "company" life that he was flawless in. I thought this was a messy writing mistake at first, although I came to realize it displayed him as a more dimensional man with things he is good at and lacks experience in. Lee Mi Yeon was wonderful in her role, capturing the charisma of the character's youthful dreams and the struggles that come with age and of being a mother. Supporting cast members worked well within their roles and the chemistry between everyone was fairly good as well.
Music did not play to big of a role in the movie, although it was present. Where and how the music was utilized was highly enjoyable and fueled the scenes onward. This is not a soundtrack I would download, but it definitely did not ruin the experience of watching or distract me from what I was watching.
The movie is rewatchable with good action and a time of about 1 hour 30 minutes, but I would not rewatch it often, especially not for the romance.
Overall, not bad. A fairly good way to pass some time, especially for action fans and So Ji Sub fans. I also think I have found a new favorite actress in Lee Mi Yeon. Fr me, a 7.5 because it is pretty good but not a masterpiece.
I hope this helps and happy watching! :)

I decided to watch this because I am a total fan of the male lead. I’ve see. Him in action series before and he was amazing, I must admit he did not disappoint here either. As usual his acting was smooth. The series itself was a Nice action film. I saw another show like this but this takes on a Different spin. It’s your typical assassin in disguise series. Bad guy with a heart decides to be compassionate which doesn’t work out well for him in his profession. Pretty blood. If your looking for some gun fighting and fist fighting you might like this one. There not a significant relational element to it. Th ending is so so but not aweful.
