Project Wolf Hunting

[Opens Oct. 7 in theaters and playing at Fantastic Fest and Beyond Fest.] Kim Hongsun's engaging, suspenseful, over-the-top, blood-drenched, bullet-riddled, graphic, action-packed, frenetic-paced, ultra violent, unpredictable, love-it-or-hate-it, 122-minute thriller reminiscent of Con Air in which bodies drop like flies when a team of veteran South Korean detectives (e.g., Sung Dong-il, Jung So-min, Jang So-mi) escorts a group of ruthless, sadistic, psychopathic convicts (Seo In-guk, Jang Dong-yoon, Hong Young Nam, et al.) onboard a large cargo freighter docked in the Philippines bound for South Korea and then chaotic mayhem ensues as they all find themselves fish-in-a-barrel targets after a powerful, lobotomized, revengeful, super soldier killing machine (Choi Gwi-hwa) breaks free of his chains in the cargo hold; not for the squeamish.
