The Korean film industry spits out crime thrillers as if they have an array of scripts with minor changes simply waiting for them every two days. At this point, I’m left asking myself, “Do you love Korean cinema or do you love crime thrillers?”. Alright, it’s not like we don’t get fantastic Korean movies in other genres, but this seems to be an overfavored one. But does The Wild pass the vibe check? I suppose yes and no. There are some scenes in this film that come across as unique even in this overdone genre, with the same kind of fight choreographies, similar costumes, plots, and everything in between; however, there’s nothing new when it comes to the plot. I guess it’s still a gritty tale of crime and punishment that ends rather tragically. I suppose, at the end of the day, it’s a study of the “pseudo-hero” character.
