acsdoug D @acsdoug Apr 5, 2026 The plot is simple enough: low level gangster seeks revenge on higher up gangsters for killing his sister. However, I must admit I had a bit of trouble following it at first. In my opinion they made it needlessly complicated by throwing too many characters into the mix. The ending is quite implausible as well. I still liked the movie though. Cha Seung Won is a superb movie villain. He's cool, calm and sleazy all at the same time.

See more DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD Nov 24, 2024 An odd mix of hardcore visceral action and contemplative sentiment, Night in Paradise suffers from being an overly long plod in need of some major narrative tightening and its occasional blasts of directorial panache that are ultimately squashed by its uncompromising fatalism. Melding the gangland revenge thriller and the terminal illness romance, there's real inventiveness to the way director Park Hoon-Jung wrong-foots the viewer and handles the operatic displays of gunfire and death, unfortunately, the connective tissue that the film only pretends to be interested in and beyond basic action sequences renders it rather dull. The production values are the best things the film has going for it, the photography is frequently fantastic and the music does a decent job of matching the dark tone the film carries with some decent acting all around to boot. Unfortunately, there's a serious lack of personality permeating throughout Night in Paradise, one that sometimes plays like a road trip, sometimes like a romance and sometimes like the idle imaginings of a serial killer. A tear-stained, blood-splattered odyssey in whether revenge is warranted or even capable of bringing personal satisfaction that could have been so much better.

In its favor, while the ending wasn't satisfying enough, it wasn't totally conventional either as they serve in this sort of flicks. See more Marshall P @RT84944605 Mar 5, 2023 It is super. I have seen it twice now and enjoyed it as much the second time. Its not as good as Infernal Affairs, but its still a good movie. See more tripti g @Tiripiri Feb 5, 2023 A great slow burn gangster thriller with a total bad ass explosive ending. I also want to try the Mulhoe in Jeju now! See more Read all reviews
