Synopsis
A Man of Reason (2023), known in Korea as Bohohja, is a South Korean action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. It marks the directorial debut of Jung Woo-sung, the veteran star who steps behind the camera and takes the lead role himself.
Su-hyeok walks out of prison after ten years and learns he has a teenage daughter. All he wants is an ordinary life. His old boss — now running a corporation — has other ideas and refuses to let a useful man walk away. A pair of unhinged hired killers is sent after him, and the quiet dream of fatherhood curdles into open war. Kim Nam-gil co-stars, alongside two assassins who keep stealing their scenes.
Behind the camera Jung is plainly smitten with style: neon, slow-motion gunfights, designer violence. The story underneath stays thin and stalls in stretches. It's worth a look for the action choreography and for the curiosity of watching a big actor try directing on for size. Stream A Man of Reason online on iFILM.
