'Jung_E' Movie Review
Director Yeon Sang-ho’s latest film, “Jung_E,” now available on Netflix, is a sci-fi action flick that draws inspiration from classic films such as “The Terminator” and “Blade Runner” and explores deep philosophical themes surrounding humanity. Although Yeon’s skill with set-pieces is undeniable, the bloated and overlong center of the film fails to impress. Unlike his previous work “Train to Busan,” where the action was embedded in an interesting story, “Jung_E” spends too much time discussing its themes instead of showing them. The opening action sequence and the last 15 minutes of the film are impressive, but the rest fails to keep the audience engaged.
