Watched the Korean film, Officer Black Belt, tonight. It was billed as a Buddy Cop Comedy...

DO NOT be fooled by this. There is some dark subject matter, and the comedy is a very small portion. The trailer is super misleading.

The film was good, but definitely disappointing considering what I was sold it as.

*** Officer Black Belt ***
(2024 - Netflix 1:48)

[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]

Delivering chicken, playing video games, & practicing martial arts seems enough for Kim Woo Bin's character. One day he saves a Martial Arts Officer. He's asked to cover the officer's job while he recovers. His parole officer partner recommends that he becomes an official Martial Arts Officer.

Warning: the crimes depicted in the show are awful & may be triggering.

The fighting is amazing - great choreography. You will *hate* the bad guy. What's unique is that Kim Sung Kyun really brings compassion to the role of the parole officer & the fun-seeking fighter sees things from a fresh perspective.

In less than 2 hours, Kim Woo Bin provides us with wonderful character growth & a great bromance. It was also interesting to see how an unfamiliar area of the S. Korean penal system works.

Watched "Officer Black Belt" with @EllenInEdmonton yesterday.

What a great movie! In this article Kim Woo Bin comments on how he approached it like a drama vs. an action film & you can certainly see his character growth - he had me in tears.
