Woochi (2009)
Aspiring Taoist master and local mischief-maker Jeon Woo-chi is
trapped in a painting for 500 years after a trio of lesser wizards
suspect him of killing his master. His master was in the process of
recovering a magic flute that would either subdue monsters or give
them greater power if it fell into the wrong hands. Will Woo-chi be
able to navigate the modern world and stop the plot to release
monsters into the mortal world again?
*Full
of action, some suspense, a little mystery, and a healthy dose of
humor, this fast-paced film was difficult to follow at first, as it
hopped between present and past without much transition. The rate of
speech also seemed faster than normal, and it was a little difficult
to keep up with the dialogue in the beginning when the movie's plot
is being set up. Not too violent, not too deep - once viewers begin
to think about the plot it doesn't hold up very well. Other than that
it was a decent film and I might watch it again.*
