The cast and the phenomenal acting by the entire cast elevates this movie from just ok to a solid 3 stars for me. I wish there had been a more complete story but alas, there is not. We get the makings of a good story of a man learning to have faith again after the tragic death of his father as a child after already having lost his mother when she gave birth to him. He blames God and has essentially decided he has no need for Him or his faithful.

The story was rushed towards the end. The ending also implied that a sequel was forthcoming and maybe that's why the story feels incomplete. There were some genuinely good dialogue between Yong Hoo and Father Ahn. And it was believable that Yong Hoo would become fond of him even with his feelings about God.

The last fight scene was choreographed really well. PSJ should be in way more action flicks. Looking forward to seeing him on the Ms. Marvel sequel.

The worst part of the movie was the special effects. I think they could have been done a lot better. The fire looked fake.
