VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

TheMovieAndAnimeLover480 No Tears for the Dead Stars: Dong-Gun Jang, Min-hee Kim, Brian Tee Rated R for Strong Violence, Language Throughout and Brief Drug UseThe story is about a hit-man named Gon who is traumatized by accidentally killing a girl and is given the job to kill her mother months later as he fights for his life while trying to save her. As usual, Korean films tend to be very good or entertaining and this is no exception. This film is very entertaining and some very memorable action scenes. The film has very strong opening scene which sets up the story very well and is very memorable, however the film does take a downhill. The middle part of the film could have had some more gun-play and it ended up being a bit boring, however we reach the third and final part of the film. The action scenes are extremely well-choreographed, brutal, bloody and explosive, the apartment shootout in particular. The ending for this film was quite depressing, but was enjoyable nonetheless. Overall, 'No Tears for the Dead' is an extremely entertaining film with amazing action scenes and some memorable dramatic moments Score:8/10

tenshi_ippikiookami Gon is a killer whose new mission is to get some data and then kill the woman that has it, a woman that happens to be the mother of a little child he killed by accident on his last mission. Of course, Gon grows a conscience and decides to betray his bosses and safe the woman."No Tears for the Dead" is not the most original movie in the basket. It is predictable, lame and you will see any plot development from a mile away. It doesn't help that the pace and direction are not very good, and the action scenes are shrouded in darkness making everything quite difficult (and boring) to follow. The acting ranges from B-movie level to okeish to I-don't-know-I-was-an-actor level, and the lead actor, Dong-gun Jang, fails miserably in bringing any charisma to Gon. Min-hee Kim as Mo-kyeong, the woman who may or may not have the data the triads are searching for, fares better, as does also Brian Tee with a paper-thin character that is just there to allow him to look cool.An action movie should at least have some cool action, and action scenes that make sense and are entertaining. "No Tears for the Dead" forgot the action rule-book home and offers neither of them.

grandmastersik A simple plot: a hit-man accidentally kills a little girl and is then sent to put the mother out of her misery.So, how can this possibly go wrong? After the explosive beginning, the pace drops off almost to the point of tedium as we're supposed to feel the agony of characters we never quite connect with. There's something about Triad bank accounts worth around $100 million thrown in to motivate the gangsters and throw some cops into the mix, but it's so poorly put together that - if it couldn't have been fixed via a couple of rewrites - really should have been taken out.Fortunately, 40 minutes or so in, the action kicks off again and it's the excellence we all sat down to watch in the first place.Now, I'm all for catering for genre fans, just as I'm all for making deep, meaningful thrillers, but unfortunately, the plotting doesn't quite have the plausibility or pacing to be the powerful action-thriller the director was hoping it would be and in the end, despite all the great action scenes, No Tears For the Dead left me feeling detached and out in the cold.

Subrat Jain To start, I would say that the movie was well made with good acting and above par choreography. The story was somewhat believable and pretty simple. So no plot holes as such. The thing that's bugging me is that a lot of promotional posters said that the action sequences rival Raid 2. In my opinion that's a utterly false comparison. And someone who feels its true needs to watch Raid 2 again. The action is zero in the 1st hour of the film. There are some very good sequences but very few in number.The final fight was a let down too. The hero doesn't fight even 1 of the bad guys properly through out the film.The raid franchise consists of 2 epic films with unmatched action choreography ever, IMHO. Comparing a movie with that is going to generate interest nonetheless.To sum it up this was a little below my expectations as The Man form nowhere features in my all time favorite action flicks and i was expecting it to at least live up to the expectation.Watch it as a decent action flick and don't expect too much form it.
