It gets the pulse racing every time the chips are down and the zombies won’t stay down and dead.

Badland Hunters is simply in it for the mayhem, marvellous though it may be, but ultimately mindless.

Ma Dong-Seok is one of the coolest dudes in Korean cinema. I do think the film is a little disappointing as the post-apocalyptic setting isn't used in an exciting way. The plot is also nothing special. It is incredibly dumb and predictable while also having minimal explanation about anything. The characters are also very bland. There is barely any exploration of any of the characters including the main character. Due to this, they all come off as one-dimensional and this makes it very difficult to care about anyone.However, it has some incredibly well-choreographed and fun action sequences. Who doesn't want to see Ma Dong-seok kick ass!

Pretty good, if standard, post apocalyptic setting with some fun out action sequences. None of the characters are really interesting besides Ma Dong-seok, but that's just cause he doesn't talk a lot and beats the **** out of everyone he sees.

Don Lee comes out the other side unscathed since his charisma helps carry most of the story and he’s always fun to watch.

Badland Hunters may not be a worthy successor to Concrete Utopia, but it is an entertaining zombie actioner.

While the action scenes are praiseworthy, seamlessly blending with Ma Dong-seok's style and the actors' personas, the plot design appears somewhat constrained. Overall, there are discernible gaps when compared to A-grade post-apocalyptic road films. This film will satisfy Ma Dong-seok's fans, yet it might disappoint enthusiasts of the sci-fi/post-apocalyptic genre.

Quando apareceu o primeiro crocodilo, que mais parecia uma alegoria de escola de samba, e uns cortes muito ruins ao estilo Michael Bay, eu jábaixei todo e qualquer expectativa sobre o filme, mas ainda sim me deixei levar pensando pelo menos na diversão. Infelizmente, fui muito otimista. Ao contrário de "Concrete Utopia", onde a destruição é protagonista e causa realmente impacto físicos, psicológicos, sociais... aqui, as ruínas estão por mero capricho. Aliás, tirem o mundo devastado já na primeira cena, corte tudo, e você terá o mesmo filme. Absolutamente instigante acompanhar a trama onde a catástrofe dessas proporções é simplesmente ignorada para dar lugar a uma organização que faz experimentos com adolescentes, que mal ficou explicado. É preciso muita disposição para não se entediar. Ao menos eu gosto da composição do espaço, mas veja, apenas da composição. Ver os destroços é até ok, a equipe técnica da direção de arte até tentou, mas quando a direção precisa evoluir com isso é um Deus nos acuda. O uso do espaço, a mise en scene, é simplesmente terrível. Algo que me fez também dar uma estrela é o fato dos protagonistas serem muito simpáticos, e pelo menos o humor aqui está equilibrado. Claro que o maniqueísmo das situações e um vilão muito mal desenvolvido quase fazem o elenco ir por água abaixo, mas achei que no final o saldo, ao menos dos personagens, foi positivo, com direito a algumas caricaturas que ao menos soaram divertidas (a mulher enfiando a cobra no nariz!). Mas é absolutamente um filme catástrofe onde o enredo não aproveita o potencial e entrega algo tão genérico e batido, com cenas de ação muito mal feitas, acabando por afundar o filme. Diria que está bem abaixo do padrão Netflix, e olha que é uma métrica bem pouco exigente.

A Clunky Narrative Where Even Strong Performances Can't Mask the Flaws251006 (0.4)The film feels like a wild boar clumsily charging forward—heave-ho, oink, oink—lacking any sense of grace or direction. Despite the passionate efforts of a few lead actors, the overall execution feels deeply regrettable and fails to reach its potential. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world following a massive earthquake, centered around Nam-san, a former boxer played by Ma Dong-seok. He finds himself embroiled in a conflict involving a sinister apartment complex that lures survivors under false pretenses. Among the victims is Han Su-na, an 18-year-old girl who loves to draw; she and her grandmother are deceived by the facility, leading to her grandmother's tragic **** primary antagonist is Yang Gi-su, the sole surviving doctor and a mad scientist who has developed a technology for immortality. Driven by a vengeful rage over his daughter’s death during an experiment, he seeks to replace humanity with a "new species." His daughter exists in a horrifying state, with only her head and heart kept alive in a tank. The plot also features Ju-wan, a teenager harboring a crush on Su-na, and "Tiger," a rival boxer previously defeated by Nam-san who has become a gang leader facilitating human trafficking for the apartment. Despite these high-stakes elements, the film struggles to find a balance between its grotesque sci-fi concepts and its action-heavy plot, ultimately resulting in a disjointed experience that feels hollow.
