This is an uneven movie that grew on me as it went on. It's about a Korean salaryman who develops superpowers at a time when his daughter is under threat from the powers that be. He clumsily learns to put his powers to use, and things wind up sliding at an angle from his intention as a result. It gets substantially worse before it gets better, and even then lands in a place that's just OK. The tone is a bit uneven, but the story plays out in a fairly engaging way. There's a fair bit of interesting eye-candy here as we're treated to the hero's journey in doing things like flying and fighting.
Recommended.
