Forget DC, put aside Marvel, there is a new superhero in town and he's absolutely fantastic.
Now I had high hopes going in as I have a great history with Korean cinema, in fact the last movie I gave 10/10 was Korean (Train to Busan 2016) but I didn't actually expect Psychokinesis to be quite this good.
It tells the story of an absent bum father who returns after his ex-wife passes away. He tries to get back into his daughters life but meets understandable resistance, that is until he develops super powers and realizes he can use them to help her.
Now let's be clear this is a comedy more than anything, comedy with serious undertones, a decent budget and honestly could be considered family friendly. There is no swearing, the violence is at A-Team level (You know where explosions happen and people go flying but nobody gets hurt), and it's goofy in that really endearing kind of way.
A truly heart warming feel good film I applaud everyone involved. Though there were some aspects of the end I didn't entirely appreciate and would have written differently I can't say they take much away from the film.
This is so very very enjoyable, I laughed, I cheered, I welled up a little bit and walked away very satisfied.
The Good:
Feel good movie
Seung-ryong Ryu and Eun-kyung Shim
The Bad:
Feels a tad incomplete
Bit too goofy a couple of times
The word gosh (Translated) must have been used 100+ times
