This movie didn't do much for me, and I feel like I've wasted my time. Actually, it's way better than the third one in the series, with the bad guy who acts swiftly without talking much. However, Ma Dong-seok's character is kind of soft this time, and it's hilarious seeing him dealing with online gambling cases. At the same time, he doesn't even use a smartphone. Overall, the story flows smoothly, and the ending is exciting. The only thing is, the supposedly smart bad guy acts so dumb, lol.

When you really dig into this movie's plot, you see that the bad guys are now into online gambling and cryptocurrency. The cinematography isn't very original. But they did try something new by adding a female character, even though she shows up out of nowhere and isn't that great in this crime thriller, which primarily focuses on violent crimes. Overall, it was a good watch, and I'm excited to see what happens in the next one. I hope for a better story, tougher bad guys, and more suspense.

The movie really keeps up with current events, telling a story about online gambling scams. Compared to the first three movies of this series, this movie has a lot more comedy, but the bad guy seems more stereotypical. It's like you're just getting a small taste of what could be a really exciting story.

This series is back with a bang, and Kim Mu-yeol's performance is amazing. He may not be as intense as Ma Dong-seok, but his fearsome villainous character is just as memorable. The climax of the first-class brawl is everything we could've hoped for. And with plans for an eighth film, the quality of this fourth film has definitely got fans excited again. Let's hope Ma Dong-seok keeps fighting!

This movie is pretty good as a popcorn flick. Ma Dong-seok's performance is still impressive, but the overall quality isn't as good as the third one in the series. The story is pretty predictable, and it feels like Ma Dong-seok's character gradually struggles to keep up.

The action in this movie is super generic, and the characters feel like they're just pawns in the plot. They don't really grow or change much. And the climax should've been intense, but it just lacked that sense of danger or excitement. The pacing is all over the place, more like a suspenseful Korean drama than a real movie. It seems like the director and writer were too caught up in having a super-powerful guy, to the point that they just forgot how important intensity and excitement are in an action movie.

This movie is way better than the last one. The pace is faster, and the supporting cast really stands out, bringing some fun to the whole film. Overall, it's a solid action-comedy flick to enjoy with your popcorn, even though some of the setups seem a bit silly to me. But everyone in the theater was cracking up, so it looks like the audience is pretty forgiving about movies. After all, we're all there to unwind.

Este filme é muito melhor do que o anterior. O ritmo é mais rápido e os coadjuvantes realmente se destacam, trazendo um pouco de diversão para todo o filme. No geral, é um sólido filme de ação e comédia para curtir com pipoca, apesar de algumas das cenas parecerem um pouco bobas para mim. Mas todos no cinema estavam se divertindo, então parece que o público é bastante tolerante com filmes. Afinal, estamos lá para relaxar.

Este filme não me pegou, sinto que perdi meu tempo. Na verdade, é muito melhor do que o terceiro da série; mas o personagem de Ma Dong-seok é meio fraco, e é hilário vê-lo lidando com os casos de apostas online. Ao mesmo tempo, ele nem usa um smartphone. No geral, a história flui suavemente, e o final é emocionante. A única coisa é que o vilão supostamente inteligente age de forma bem idiota rs.

Quando você se aprofunda no enredo do filme, vê que os bandidos agora gostam de apostas online e criptomoedas. A fotografia não é muito original, mas eles tentaram algo novo ao adicionar uma personagem feminina, embora ela apareça do nada e não seja tão boa. No geral, foi uma boa sessão, e quero ver o que vai acontecer no próximo. Espero por uma história melhor, bandidos mais durões e mais suspense.

O filme acompanha eventos atuais, contando uma história de golpes em apostas online. Comparado aos três primeiros filmes da série, tem muito mais comédia, mas o vilão parece mais estereotipado. É como se você tivesse um pequeno gostinho do que poderia ser uma história realmente emocionante.

Esta película no me gustó mucho, siento que perdí el tiempo al verla. En realidad, es mucho mejor que la tercera de la serie, con el malo que actúa con rapidez y sin hablar mucho. Sin embargo, en esta entrega, el personaje de Ma Dong-seok está bastante tranquilo, y causa mucha gracia verlo lidiar con los casos de apuestas en línea. Al mismo tiempo, ni siquiera utiliza un smartphone. En general, la historia fluye sin problemas y el final es emocionante. Lo único realmente malo es que el villano hace un papel demasiado tonto, jaja.
