Heojil kyolshim (2022)
Amazing film by the real master of the golden age of Korean cinema
This is yet another masterpiece in his long filmography, if you already know his work then you will love this one. If you don't know his work maybe start by watching the Vengeance Trilogy, which put him and the Korean wave on the map (in terms of international audiences).
With this film we have a more mature Park, not sensationalist like some of his films, but still crazy enough.
Notably this film takes place in Busan, the actors do a pretty great Busan accent and temperament which distinguishes it from many Korean films which are based around a more subdued Seoul culture.
Us (2019)
Great film, but too deep for some.
This film is great. But there are some people for whom it goes too deep
Ad Astra (2019)
First half good, second half fails at any depth
First half is fun, second half was pretty superficial trying and missing for some deep meaning. Brad Pitt is a great character actor but doesn't pull off the depth necessary
The Spy (2019)
Cohen is good but it turns out to be pretty generic

Yi dai zong shi (2013)
Excellent
Equally great martial arts and drama film. The best acting and direction. Doesn't get any better
Too Old to Die Young (2019)
Amazing
A couple of super slow episodes to start, but by the second half of the series it's one of the best things ever made. Extremely well made
