TIME TO HUNT (2020) is directed & written by Sung-hyun Yoon and produced by HanDae Rhee. I took this film in off the recommendation of a Youtuber naming a list of “gems” found on Netflix. With that, I proceeded to watch a subtitled film that had me a little confused to a point as the film was to be taking place in a near-future situation, but nothing seemed that futuristic.
Furthermore, being a “heist-type-film,” the heist itself seemed to not have rational reasoning for doing it. That said, my interest wained, and as the film morphed into a revenge-for-hire to a survival-mode-film, I tuned out.
In the End: TIME TO HUNT, with its high recommendation, failed to keep my interest from numerous angles and so for this film I give it 2 stars out of five.
