Kevin L @Lakeman Oct 25, 2023 I'm loving these Korean action flicks. There's a great mix of good drama to go along with all the action/adventure content. Credit to writer/director Yoon Jae-geun for this taut, intense, clever movie, mixing fantasy and reality. It kept me pretty much riveted to the end. Good performances overall by the key role players, though Park Ji-hwan as the homeless man was a bit hammy. I appreciated the well-designed fight scene choreography and very narrow escapes. I also appreciate that the movie didn't make me suspend disbelief as much as a great many action movies where the protagonists(s) is getting shot at dozens of times but only gets the cliched shot in the arm or upper chest. Plenty of injuries and bloodshed to go around here, but it's not overtly gory or fetishized. 3.8 stars fantasy/action movie See more Wolfgang G @RT51462348 Mar 20, 2023 Spiritwalker ist ein südkoreanischer Mystery- Action- Fantasy-Film, von Yoon Jae-geun (Drehbuch und Regie)... Die Handlung dreht sich um einen Mann mit Amnesie, der anschließend alle zwölf Stunden in einem neuen Körper aufwacht… Mysteriöse Situationen und eine Suche nach persönlicher Identität, mit stilvoller Action wie Verfolgungsjagden und Nahkampf-Szenen… Die Leistung der Schauspieler ist lobenswert… See more Dick C @Joshua19930826 Oct 9, 2022 It's an excellent and science-fiction movie... See more Marc Z @TKDLife Mar 16, 2022 SPIRITWALKER is a complex thriller from the first moment the film begins. We are dropped in the midst of a story where every twelve (12) hours it seems our main character's essence is somehow transferred into a new body. His memories seem to be retained from the start of the film, but not prior to the car crash that opens the film. He does not know who he is and how he got into this situation. What he does know is that there are dangerous people trying to kill him; criminals and, possibly, intelligence agents. He just needs to reconstruct the puzzle pieces to find out why? Director Yoon Jae-keun (Heartbeat), along with award-winning martial arts choreographers Park Young-sik and Chung Seong-Ho (SAG Awards, Best Stunt Ensemble, "Squid Game"), bring to life the action-packed thriller While the movie is complex it is not confusing. The complexity is not superfluous. It is part of what makes it interesting. As each change occurs the layers of the onion are peeled back and we learn a little more information towards solving this riddle. Is Yoon Kye-sang's character crazy? Is there a supernatural explanation? The film converges in an exciting climax. Yoon Kye-sang, a former K-pop singer, is very good in the lead role. So is the supporting cast, which includes Park Yong-Woo (Nailed), Lim Ji-Yeon (Obsessed, High Society) and Park Ji-Hwan (The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure). They all do a good job of making you feel that the lead character's personage does change, even though Yoon Kye-sang, essentially, plays all of the characters in the transference. This is a psychological thriller but it is also an action film. It has its share of well choreographed and realistic fight sequences. The climactic fight scene is riveting and fun to watch. This is top notch martial arts and action choreography. The action is engaging. This movie has a lot going for it. This film has many of the underlying themes that are prevalent in South Korean Cinema. It is also a high quality film that rivals anything Hollywood has produced. See more Read all reviews
