"Master" is a routine South Korean crime thriller whose bloat magnifies its generic qualities.

Flashy but paper-thin, Master lets its stars ham it up in crowd-pleasing turns, but drops the ball when it comes to plotting.

The film is seemingly terrified of boring us, offering one elaborate montage of catch and release (or of survey and flee) after another.

The performances are solid to great throughout, and Cho does build to a remarkably satisfying final twenty minutes, but it takes two hours to get there.

A competently made but generic copy of a twisty Hong Kong-style crime drama, the details that elevate this from the pack are its references to the politics and culture of South Korea.

Master, while highly entertaining a good portion of the time, ultimately falls short of the title's promise.
January 10, 2017
A high-octane action thriller [set in] the corrupt world of finance and big business. But beyond the glamour, action and exotic locations, it's a shallow, superficial endeavour.
