Kate (2021)
One of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Remember Ripley from Alien franchise?! That's what I call a cool and really strong female character. That's just an example, there are plenty. To be strong and courageous you don't have to pose being a roughneck and kill 999999 people in the most ridiculous and brutal way. But you have to know what that really means to be able to act like that. Despite Mary being a pretty good actress, she failed to believably portray this character. And that's not even her fault. Who knows what the creators and screenwriter were going for. To me it felt like a demonstration of cliche collection unsuitable for a female character, or at least looking pretty dumb performed by a female. A movie full of social agendas and an intrusive feel of authours trying to tell us something.
P. S. The girl killed half of the Yakuza crew with bare hands, but struggled to kill the partner of Yakuzas nephew... probably because he was gay. That's when you know that the person is tough right?!

F in the wind.
First of all I'd like to say that I love South Korean movies. I saw the devil, Oldboy, The Wailing are some of my favorite movies overall. If I start to list every Korean movie that I like I'm afraid I won't finish until next week.
But this, this was such a waste of time. Unfortunately just like some recent Korean movies. It's like authors take movie fans for complete fools. For example the episode where they were "checking" the dudes "brothers" identity?) Wut? The so called "villain" didn't have any relation to the main character and was still allowed to pass by the police?! Overall the storyline is too simple and very predictable. It almost seems like after Parasites won the Academy Award, Korean movie makers decided that they have to start making "American" movies. That's exactly the opposite of what Parasites did to win the Oscars. Don't get me wrong I love American movies, best in the world. But I'm talking about old American classics not modern American movies which are all ideological clones of each other and movies like this one.
P. S. The movie didn't clarify too well the financial fraud which the main character was a part of, but I want to say that everyone is responsible for their financial decisions personally. Don't blame banks or other individuals if you can't operate your own finances properly. So inconclusion the message of this movie is not good as well.
