see a film, but I think it's made for guys who see it two or three times for the action scenes and are kept amused by trying to figure out the plot along the way.
It certainly makes that revenge film starring Liam Neeson that did so well seem like it was from horse-and-buggy years. Koreans (and Japanese, Chinese, Thai) certainly have action figured out. I think it's because they make so many B films; like the old Westerns in Hollywood (and the crime films, later) served as talent incubators. Practice makes perfect. Compare that to our directors who typically make the jump from 1 minute commercial spots.
