Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter Although the film's rapid-fire plotting sometimes seems rather ungainly, Park still delivers plenty of creatively conceived high-tech surveillance sequences, intricately staged car chases and unexpectedly visceral fight scenes. Apr 19, 2017 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times An amped-up video game vision of a revenge fantasy that's so preoccupied with switching gears that it neglects to provide viewers with any place to park their battered attention spans. Feb 16, 2017 Full Review Ian Kane Epoch Times This is a gripping cyber-crime flick that should keep your attention all the way up to its spectacular finale. Rated: 4/5 Dec 31, 2023 Full Review Joe Lipsett Queer.Horror.Movies. What Fabricated City loses in aping the plot of successful action films, it more than makes up for with its killer balance of action, comedy and style. Sep 21, 2018 Full Review Gwendolyn Ng The Straits Times (Singapore) Though there is no revolutionary concept, it is still entertaining to watch the movie's handsome hero in action. Rated: 3/5 Apr 19, 2017 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post For all its potential, Fabricated City remains a patchwork of half-realised, undercooked ideas crowbarred into a generic formula. Rated: 2/5 Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Sarfaraz A South Korean action criminal thriller directed by Park Kwang-hyun. Ji Chang-wook, Shim Eun-kyung, and others star in the film. Ji Chang-wook, a young online gaming enthusiast, lives with his loving mother, who works in a hospital. He is arrested for the murder and r*pe of an underage girl, and all evidence tying him to her death and r*pe is easily found at his home and on the crime scene. He is sentenced to life in jail without the possibility of parole, and his mother, who worked tirelessly to prove his son's innocence, was also discovered dead. Ji must get out of prison to establish his innocence and find the truth about his mother's tragic death, who had previously vowed him that she would not give up hope while working hard to get him out. The story draws heavily on the inspiration of internet gamers. The tech-savvy cyber friends vow to save their friend from false allegations. There is thrill and mystery here. While the film makes effective use of cyber technology and other tech gadgets, the antagonist is also portrayed to be a master of technology. The tragedy is also portrayed as the mother is devastated by the news of her son's detention and sentencing, as well as how she has faced public ire. That was truly sad. A good crime drama with a predictable climax but much to give to the audience. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Audience Member A fantastic exciting action drama! Ji Chang-Wook in the role of Kwon Yoo, an unemployed gambling addict, does a fantastic job of portraying an innocent young man who has been sent to prison for a murder he did not commit. The story is so deep and Ji Chang-Wook makes the character so believable that you will cry for him several times during this film. An absolute "must see" for everyone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Este filme é de 2017, mas assisti a ele pelo youtube. È o estilo e o roteiro de filme asiático. Já vimos várias vezes este mesmo roteiro, mas este está tão bem feito, que mesmo você já ter visto uma centenas de vezes filmes parecidos, este conseguiu me segurar e assistir todo até o fim. Conta a estória de um jovem jogador de vídeo game, e tem o seu grupo de ação tática no game, onde eles não se conhecem pessoalmente. O Ator principal Ji Chang é pego pela policia e incriminado por homicídio e estupro. Onde foi armado tudo para que ele fosse incriminado. Sua mãe tb morre. Na prisão ele perseguido por um líder mafioso Kim. Até que ele consegue fugir. E a equipe de game se une a ele para provar sua inocência e descobrir o verdadeiro criminoso. Um filme cheio de ação e várias reviravoltas. Parabéns novamente ao cinema #Koreano que mesmo sem os valores astronômicos de #hollywod conseguem fazer filmes de qualidade, com muitos efeitos visuáis e especiais. Um filme #superrecomendo assistir. Roteiro: Bem feito Efeitos especiais: Boa Vale apena assistir? Sim Vale Nota: 9,25 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Great film!
