Mooyoung High looks like a nice, peaceful secondary school — but it isn’t. The truth is that bullying is a major issue there, as merciless violence takes over the whole institution. So Si-min, a former professional boxer, is now a part-time high school teacher and has witnessed some brutal bullying at her workplace. The most dangerous bully of them all, Han Su-kang has, been harassing and beating up an innocent student non-stop. Taking matters into her own hands, Si-min decides to don a mask and deal with Su-kang herself, to teach him a lesson and deliver proper justice. It’s up to Si-min to put an end to his violent acts once and for all.
Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, BRAVE CITIZEN is one of the most stylishly entertaining Korean action flicks ever made! The theme of school violence is prominent throughout, and explored in a very interesting way. Directed by Park Jin-pyo (VOICE OF A MURDERER, YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE), it has everything you want in a film like this, especially great characters and intense action sequences. Shin Hye-sun is absolutely fantastic in the lead role—you’ll be rooting for her from start to finish. She’s clearly put in a lot of hard work and dedication into the fight choreography, and you can tell she was born to play this character. Korean movie fans, take note! If you’re in the mood for a ridiculously fun flick, you certainly do not want to miss this! – Steven Lee
