Sandra Vee Aug 05 2021 2:00 am One of the first korean movies I watched, before I became a kdrama fan. That time I did not know any actors. Today I randomly checked the cast and dayumnnn I know almost eveyone from the dramas Ive see. The neighbourhood guy from Reply 1988 and the Moon Sang Tae from IOTNBO and the God from Bride of Habaek surprised me here.

Vic Apr 09 2021 9:53 am I watched because of Lee Ha Nee, then find it funny.

,,, Aug 16 2020 10:09 pm i usually don't leave comments down on movies because i find them either too simple or too hard to take in when the end approaches but extreme job was such an amazing movie and i totally understand why it reached top box office sales now. the story has a great balance between comedy and action and the fact that i had a chance to visit the original suwon chicken restaurant a year ago and actually taste the fried chicken there made the movie even more enjoyable to watch! 10/10 would recommend!

jilcel May 21 2020 5:42 am I read about this from a movie review being great to watch at. I decided to watch this when I found it has Ryoo Seung-Ryong (from Miracle in Cell No.7) as lead character. My verdict: This was a hilarious movie! We are laughing from beginning to end! Great to watch! Enjoyed very much!

jujukk Oct 03 2019 10:20 am Watched it after watching the same Lee byeong hun director's drama Be melodramatic (2019)...cured the aftermath of drama. Fun movie.

drinkme Oct 01 2019 4:03 am this movie is awesome !!!!

Xhalen Aug 18 2019 2:28 am This one's hilariously funny from beginning to end. And Gong Myung looks so cute in here! I thought he looked like Go Kyung Pyo with that haircut. Lol

Rinald Aug 01 2019 7:08 pm These korean police related movies are always lit.Fantastic movie

caca Apr 21 2019 1:58 am this film is soooo funny

Seis Mar 04 2019 4:43 pm Absolutely hilarious! Exceeded my high expectations. It's the second most watched Korean movie in history. The whole theatre was cracking up scene after scene.

Jagd Mar 01 2019 9:13 am Great comedy, great action, great comedy, spiced with a little bit of drama, romance, and even 'horror' which is also funny all around and smoothly forged along the movie. I had a blast watching this on the silver screen, and if I got the time I'm gonna watch for the second time. Such amazing ride, hollywood need to learn things about comedy from this. I'm confident that almost no other comedy in the past 5 years could compete with this except for spiderverse.

Maria Feb 27 2019 11:48 am Good film, it's beyond my expectaction. so hilarious and make me laugh during the length. So great

Rc137 Feb 26 2019 7:34 pm Open a chicken restaurant as a cover for a stakeout. What can go wrong? Plenty of course! Really enjoyed this movie. Had crime fighting, a tiny bit (really tiny) of romance and comedy. Highly recommend. May watch again in a few weeks.

Sooyi Mar 21 2018 8:22 am While reading, I thought it would be a heist movie but then it unexpectedly delved into comedy lol... I can already picture the movie trailer: it starts off all sleek and black then it transitions into slapstick humor.

Ginali Mar 14 2018 7:49 am LOOLLL the storyline ? I'm surely waiting forward for this drama!
