Gongjo 2: Inteonaesyeonal (2022)
Fun but a little off
This was the type of movie I was extremely looking forward to. I really enjoyed watching the first Confidential Assignment so I was really excited for this one as well. The entire cast did an amazing job playing their characters. The chemistry between Hyun Bin, Yoo Hae Jin, and Daniel Henney was really good with their comedic acting. I was finally happy they gave Im Yoon Ah a bigger role compared to when she was in the first one because in the first one, she wasn't in it for very long and it was one her first time acting in a movie. The villain Jin Sun Kyu played was spot on and this guy showed people that he can play any type of characters. The movie was fun to watch, the action scenes were coordinated good, but I did feel like this movie focused too much on the comedy. There were some comedies that felt a bit forced and childish. Despite the forced comedies, if you want to see some buddy cop comedy action film, this movie is one of the ones to watch.
Mulan (2020)
It's an okay movie
I get why people are upset. Liu Yifei said something about the Hong Kong police and that's shocking from someone with a Chinese background. I get what she did was awful but you have to see the movie as the way it is not just of what she said. I see why Disney was trying to make this different from the animated version but I enjoyed the movie like Liu Yifei's presence as Mulan, Gong Li's and Jet Li's acting but I feel like it would've been better if they did a better job on the story. The story did feel a little messy like how it was put together and some of the action scenes did feel like a typical Chinese action film. Although it didn't have the musical, Mushu, and the cricket, it was still an okay movie. Definitely not worth the 30 dollars though. I would give the movie a 7.5/10 if I had to.
