“Smugglers” has style to burn, but isn’t so flashy that it makes the story hard to follow.

2/5

With a running time of 129 minutes, Smugglers could have easily worked well as an ensemble film, had these supporting roles not been written so thinly.

A lot of "Smugglers" actually plays out more like a spy movie than a heist film, as a seemingly straightforward smuggling arrangement proves surprisingly complicated.

A-

Smugglers is as entertaining as they come, further proof that Bong Joon-ho was right: If you can get over the one-inch barrier of subtitles, you will find so much to love here.

류승완에 대한 기대는 이제 여기까지만. 의외로 실망스러웠던 김혜수 연기. 레트로 바이브는 그럭저럭 살려. 고봉수 사단 배우 형들은 거기서 왜 나와. 2023청룡영화제 최우수작품상, 음악상, 남우조연상 수상작. 개인적으로 전혀 인정할 수 없…(내 픽은 콘크리트 유토피아)
