This film doesn’t do things by halves as it squarely positions itself in the top 5 most-watched films on the platform here. Everyone agrees on the quality of this feature film. The success is attributed to Heo Myeong Haeng, a Korean director and stuntman who has already worked on award-winning films like *The Roundup*, as well as some others that have been nominated, such as *Asura* and *Phantom*.
He is also accompanied by Ma Dong-seok, an actor known for his roles in *The Eternals* and *Train to Busan*. Badland Hunters is a follow-up to another film: *Concrete Utopia*, released in 2023. Badland is what they call the world after, a world destroyed by the ravages of an unprecedented earthquake.
In this new hostile environment, the survivors are forced to adapt. However, several residents and a young girl named Su-Na, close to one of the two protagonists, are kidnapped. The kidnappers justify their actions by explaining that they are taking them to conduct research for a better world.
The two hunters will do everything to find Su-Na and save the others. To do this, they will have to face mad doctors, scientific mutations, and many other obstacles that they will overcome with violence and pragmatism. The result: nearly two hours of unrestrained action, as Korea loves to do.
Although the actors may not be well-known here, we can rely on their more than satisfactory performance, especially when it comes to fight choreography. Given Badland Hunters’ length of 1h47 and the subjects it deals with, it is clearly an action film that doesn’t hold back. Even though the actors may not be well-known here, we can rely on their more than satisfactory performance, especially when it comes to fight choreography.
Just in the trailer, we are blown away and we see the actors’ 200% commitment.
