In the dead of night, a body donated for organ transplants mysteriously disintegrates into ashes. Soon after, five recipients, given a heart, corneas, lungs, liver, and kidneys, begin to develop supernatural powers. A teenage girl gains immense strength, a hipster manipulates electromagnetic waves, a novelist summons powerful gusts, a factory manager can heal others, and a woman discovers a strange, still-unidentified ability. Together, they form a reluctant but heroic team known as "HI-FIVE." But they aren't the only ones transformed. A cult leader who received the donor's pancreas gains the terrifying power to drain life energy and sets his sights on stealing the abilities of HI-FIVE to achieve godlike domination.

8/10
It’s loud, silly, heartfelt, and at a time when Hollywood superhero fatigue is at an all-time high, this South Korean gem bursts through the noise with style and sincerity. Go to Full Review

Bloody hilarious. ... The script is chock-full of joke after joke after joke. When you are not thrilled by the action set pieces and the superhero visuals, you are laughing your face off. ... The superhero movie you have been waiting for. Go to Full Review
Matt Hudson What I Watched Tonight Jul 29
4/5
A strange little gem - endearingly goofy, emotionally grounded, and clearly made with affection for its oddball characters. It doesn’t take itself seriously for a second, and that’s its superpower. Go to Full Review
