Review of Badland Hunters

I read in The Ankler, an entertainment newsletter, that this new movie on Netflix was atop the most watched films around the world, so we decided it would make a good choice for our super Saturday cinema this past weekend. Even though I live in a nexus of K-pop, we aren't huge K-pop stans, but do watch the occasional excellent movie ("Parasite", "Snowpiercer", "Train to Busan") or TV series ("Dr. Brain", "Pachinko"). This latest from the creative minds of Korea is a fun mindless romp. It's well paced, thrilling, pretty violent (though cartoonishly so), and with an excellent ass-kicking performance by the great Ma Dong-seok. It's supposedly a sequel to another movie, but we hadn't seen it and it didn't diminish our enjoyment. Check this out and add to your queue if you want entertaining dystopian entertainment to take your mind off our current dystopia. 😵
