My Movie Review: The movie is a spy action thriller about spy agents from different countries fighting seemingly conspiracy in the air, very good to some extent spy thriller with many twists:) Yaksha: Ruthless Operations is nicknamed after a human-devouring spirit, the ruthless leader of an overseas black ops team takes up a dangerous mission in a city riddled with few spies! What's nice to see if you want to spend your time action packed thriller, and entertainment, it is a good choice, watch dubbed one which good with extremely brisk pace there's little downtime! Park Hae-soo balances Han’s inherently noble aims as a prosecutor nobody’s above the law, not on his watch with the emergence of something within that’s still virtuous, but more irregular! He begins as the eyes and ears of the audience in this chaotic world of spies killing spies, and becomes the key to generating results although a bit confusing at times it comes back in place! Midway through Yaksha: Ruthless Operations, as Ji Kang-in and Han Ji-Hoon have it out in a rain-spattered fistfight set among the gaudy neon glare and crowded food stalls of a Shenyang night market, it’s finally clear why the NIS loose cannon has willingly illuminated his operation to the straight-arrow lawyer from HQ: these two see at least bit of themselves in each another:) Together with Yaksha’s dedicated young team of shooters, it’s the kind of crew you can believe in and that’s important because besides them, nobody in Yaksha is who they say they are! That emphasis on chemistry is certainly by design, since the film’s finale leaves the possibility of a sequel on the table by the point of its culminating showdown, it’s easy to wonder what other corrupt operators could get the treatment' from Yaksha and Han going forward to look up!
Critics Reviews: It’s a bit sluggish during the last leg and devoid of the action we desperately crave, kind of making watching this a mixed bag. By sidestepping [the] basic moral conflict, Yaksha is artistically hollow. A fast-moving action film full of special ops, backstabbing and political intrigue, "Yaksha: Ruthless Operations" doesn't pretend to be a prestige film. But it's a fun ride with (straight-laced) fish-out-of-water concept. The plot in Yaksha: Ruthless Operations is quite weak, and the characters rather boring. For a film that follows several characters who bend the law if it means achieving their goals, it's a little dissatisfying the extent to which the film plays things by the book. Nah Hyeon stands out as a direct heir to early John Woo, exhibiting a perfect pulse for action sequences... This is a spy thriller that takes the proverbial "web of intrigue" to new levels. Sluggish, predictable and almost wilfully devoid of thrills, South Korean action thrill drama Yaksha: Ruthless Operations offers none of the unpredictable or mischievous antics teased by its curious title. It brings a heap of trigger-happy spy craft to its tale of secrets and lies and two-faced promises on the way to sorting out some hard-earned justice. Briskly pace spy thriller with quality action sequence and engaging character. Definitely, it gives you moments of entertainment, but the bumpy roads give you the jerk, which is neither comfortable nor satisfying. Yaksha: Ruthless Operations doesn't reinvent the wheel but it does embrace the spy subgenre with open arms, allowing the tropes to do the work without getting bogged down by them, and always keeping it characters primary to the story in some of extent!
