As expected, this violent post-apocalyptic film is a hit on Netflix



And what Wilderness hunters on Netflix?

We could feel it coming even before it was released on Netflix. And this was confirmed a few days later. Released January 26th Wilderness hunters it didn’t take long before it placed first in the Top 10 of the most watched films currently in France. While the competition hasn’t been crazy these past few days (Sixty minutes, During the flight OR The kitchen released at least a week earlier), this success reflects the interest that subscribers still have for Korean productions. Even more so when there is violence inside. And here’s why, Wilderness hunters ticks the right boxes, without skimping on action and bloody dismemberments.

The film is set in a post-apocalyptic world after an earthquake. The world has changed a lot and humanity is trying to survive in these new conditions which have brought out the violence of men and have allowed nature to regain some of its rights. In this universe there is Nam-san, a man who imposes himself because he is interpreted But Dong-seok. The South Korean actor made himself known here with Last train to Busan (2016).

Let’s think logically Mad Max see this world of ruins and violence. Hunters of the wilds however, it chooses to show the breakdown during the introduction, before introducing its protagonists in action during a crazy alligator hunt. Realism is clearly not what characterizes the film, which it focuses on the most entertainment, with a good dose of humor, without putting human feelings aside. Like Han Su-na’s introduction to her grandmother.

Things change when the 18-year-old girl is chosen to enter a center that protects young people to guarantee the future of the nation. A clear lie that Nam-san will discover. The hero will therefore do everything to save her from a mad scientist, creator of invincible mutants. Together with his young friend Ji-wan and former soldier Eun-ho they will invade his lair and face many dangers.

Wilderness hunters it doesn’t revolutionize the genre in any way. But his plot remains effective, without trying to be deeper than it can. The same goes for the direction of Heo Myeong-haeng, who without overdoing it, highlights Ma Dong-seok and his physical power. The pleasure then comes first in seeing the actor defeat the people he meets with disconcerting ease.

Wilderness hunters is currently available on Netflix.
