Need a little more Korean action excitement? Step out of the arena and into the streets for Officer Black Belt, the latest from “Bloodhounds” shepherd Jason Kim. The film stars Kim Woo-bin and Kim Sung-kyun and hits all the faces streaming on Netflix beginning September 13.
This was especially one I’ve been looking forward to since last year. Kim’s work on Bloodhounds sold me, and Woo-bin’s starpower equally drew me as an impressive action lead. He was great in Netflix series “Black Knight” and is equally fantastic in the Alienoid films as well, so this is a welcome treat.
A martial arts officer protects the safety of civilians by preventing crime and electronically monitoring individuals at a high risk of reoffending.
Kim Woo-bin plays Lee Jung-do, a multi talented martial artist who always helps a person in need. Although Jung-do is an ordinary young man uh who prioritizes fun and happiness, he achieves character growth by dedicating himself to protecting those at risk of crime.
Kim Sung-kyun plays Kim Sun-min, a probation officer who offers Jung-do the position of martial arts officer after recognizing his talent and intuition. Kim Sun-min’s sense of duty and expertise and Lee Jeong-do’s martial arts skills and nerves of steel are not all the film has to offer.
The biggest reason to anticipate Officer Black Belt is the realistic action, the tension of chasing hard criminals and the delightful synergy between the two leads.
