Clarence Tsui

The Hollywood Reporter

A taut, topical and technically superb thriller.

Take Point is brilliant work that, far from romanticizing the work of private military contractors normalizes it as just a very bad job.

Byung-woo has delivered a slick, entertaining package that manages to do something new with a lot of worn elements.

An unexpectedly rich exploration of broader political ills that the rise of modern mercenaries portend.

South China Morning Post

From the convoluted set-up to its preposterous finale, Kim Byung-woo's political action thriller defies logic and comprehension at every turn.

Rated: 1/5

The unstable & constant camera panning is nauseating and annoying, the plot & acting is awful. How can a veteran mercenary team leader be very indecisive?

It's an excellent motion picture, touching and making me moved especially at the end... With writer-director, Kim Byung-woo, he film-makes with great performance for a strong castings... Producer-actor, Ha Jung-woo portrays with utmost and other self sacrifice actor, Lee Sun-kyun...

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Take Point (aka as PMC) is available for rental. It is in Korean (subtitled) and a variety of accented English that is often hard to understand (the Private Military Contractors hail from all over). It involves a mercenaries attempting an extraction in bunkers under the north/south Korea boarder. It goes wrong and we end up with drones, remote cameras and layered combat that sometimes is brilliant and some times is a little confusing. While the dialog is a bit clunky, the pros outweigh the cons if you want a little something different in your action film mix. 3 stars out of 5.
