Siddhant Adlakha Variety 10/02/2024
Scales back on its predecessor’s laughs in order to focus more closely on — as well as to examine — the violence of its police protagonists. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 09/27/2024
3/4
A film that’s wildly entertaining but also has a great deal on its mind about how far we should be willing to go to balance the scales. Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International 05/22/2024
On the whole, this instalment is a confident step up from the original. I, The Executioner may have more on its mind, but not to the detriment of the bone-crushing escapism that defined the first chapter. Go to Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse 01/05/2025
6.5
Although not as good as the origina, I, the Executioner has still a lot to offer, both in terms of entertainment and context. Yoo Ah-in is a loss but Hwang Jung-min compensates somewhat Go to Full Review Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore) 11/02/2024

A seam of social commentary adds to a satisfying action-packed cop drama. Go to Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots 10/08/2024
A predictable but solid detective thriller wrapped inside stylish visuals and intense action. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

10/01/2024 Fast paced and entertaining. See more 09/29/2024 Surprisingly funny and good story. I haven’t watched the part 1 which came out in 2015 and there were very few references to that movie so no need to watch that one before watching this. See more 09/29/2024 I enjoyed the movie and particularly Jung Hae In! See more 아파라트 H Jan 30 The question of whether private punishment is justified. See more Reza J Jan 15 Haven't watched the previous movie, so missed out on a few references in the beginning. Story wasn't captivating and quite surface level, even by my mom's standard. We saw the plot twist coming from a mile away. It was good enough for us to finish the movie, but bad enough for us to want it to end as soon as possible. If you are out of good, high-quality movies to watch, I recommend this one to kill some time until you find something new See more WTEntertainment 12/10/2024 Veteran 1 is much much better than this See more Read all reviews
