Today I’m going to tell you about the Korean movie, "Big Match". I saw this movie with my family in the theater. The reason I wanted to watch this movie is that the main action hero is played by a famous Korean action star. I have seen another one of his movies about Korea’s independence from Japan. In this movie, he was a Japanese spy. When I saw a commercial for his new movie, I thought it would be fun to watch.
The main characters are a boxer named Jico and his brother who is a wrestler. One day his brother disappears and Jico gets a phone from his kidnappers. In order to find his brother, he has to do what the kidnappers demand. Jico has to go to a building where he will find a hint about where his brother is. When he arrives, he receives another phone call from the kidnappers, this time he could hear his brother in the background. His brother tells him another hint. Jico goes to find his brother, but he gets caught by the bad guys. Then they take both brothers to a soccer field. They have to find each other in the stadium before the bombs on their wrists explode. When it is almost time for the bombs to explode, Jico sees the bad guys in the Press Box. He breaks through the glass, gets inside, and smashes all the electronic equipment. The bombs stop counting down, but another bad guy kidnaps his brother again!
This time the kidnappers tell Jico to go to another building and fight another boxer. The problem is that this boxer takes drugs to get more power and energy. Jico fights him and wins the match. The kidnappers call one more time and tell Jico to meet them in a parking garage. After a big fight scene, the police arrive and capture the bad guys. Jico’s brother is brought to the hospital, but he is okay and Jico is a hero!
In my opinion, it was a great action movie. I think it was an excellent idea for a movie plot to kidnap his brother and find him again and again. There were lots of twists in the movie. I liked this because it made me feel excited and the movie was very unpredictable. I thought the movie would end in the soccer stadium, but I was wrong, there were more parts of the movie after that. I recommend this movie to people who like action movies, but it's a little violent, so no small children. Thank you!
