South Korea has a penchant for producing quality crime action thrillers and "I, the Executioner", is no exception. The premise of this film is a story of a serial killer who is a little too close to a seasoned detective and his team, for comfort. Its the starting point for a well paced, creative action filled ride, that's not all that original but represents an enjoyable watch,nonetheless. What really stands out, for me and this can be said of a large portion of South Korean films and series, is how down to earth and realistic, the character portrayals are. The lead detective, feels like a real person. He has to deal with all the usual baggage associated with work plus, the concern and care associated with family life. In summary, a thoroughly entertaining crime action thriller from South Korea. Well worth a look.
