Project Wolf Hunting is One Crazy Ride. It is impossible to discuss the details of this film without giving spoilers so I will not provide too many facts about the plot and storyline. Project Wolf Hunting is a hyper violent, science fiction, action film that is a lot of fun to watch.
The story surrounds an attempt to transport extradited, deadly prisoners from the Philippines to Korea on a ship secured by the authorities for that purpose. Through a series of incidents the prisoners manage to get free and seek to take over the ship. This part of the film is solid, bloody and violent cops and robbers action which is very gripping and well done. The psychotic nature of some of the prisoners makes the revolt particularly gruesome. HAd this been the entire plot of the movie I think it would have been shorter, but still very good.
After one hour into the film it takes a turn into the realm of science fiction in a way that I didn't see coming, was very resistant to, but ended up really getting engrossed in. It ratchets up the violence and blood in the film to a level rarely seen in modern action and sci-fi.
While you need to suspend belief to enjoy this one, it is not hard. The action, direction,and cinematography all make for a visually engrossing thrill ride. The characters are all interesting and the actors do a good job of "buying in" to the storyline and subplot.
The action and fight sequences are plentiful and fun to watch; although, I am not sure there is as much blood in the human body and the filmmakers seem to display.
Project Wolf Hunting is worth seeing, but not for the Squeamish.
