Confusing
Take Point (2018) aka PMC: The Bunker
I had to pause this movie after watching for 10 minutes because I didnt understand what was happening. So i had to search google for the plot. (I watched this mainly because Ha Jung Woo looked hot with this haircut lol)
So this movie is about a group of illegals hired by US to fake kidnap the King so that the current president will gain sympathy and the votes in the upcoming elections (or so i thought haha the plot was so confusing!). But the kidnapping failed when there was another group who set the trap and almost killed the King. Now US wants to abort and bury the mission by leaving Ahab's team to fend on their own.
With a bad leg, Ahab had to manage the whole operation in a room, instructing his team on what to do, fighting off the hostiles, while trying to revive the King. Good thing he was able to work with the NK doctor and try to get out of the place.
This action thriller felt too long, with so many things happening - elections, kidnapping, north korea, china, illegals, betrayal, manipulation etc. I was mostly curious how he will get out alive. Ahab is brave and decisive, even when it's a matter of life and death, he chose to save his team up to the last minute. Didnt expect that his parachute story will happen again in the third act, but it was impressive for Ahab to save himself, and two other people while falling down from the plane! (Just like Mission Impossible). Also liked the bromance between Ahab and the NK doctor.
The camera was shaky and made me dizzy at times, but I think it was meant as if we were there inside the room, so it wasnt such a big deal to me.
Rating: 7.5/10
