A success in Korea. SMUGGLERS is a kind of heist movie, exchanging robberies for smuggling with female divers as protagonists, armed with weapons. Charismatic characters and super-colorful aquatic sequences. A plot seasoned with humor that engages and is followed with pleasure. The kind of movie that Guy Ritchie or Quentin Tarantino would make if they were Korean.
This comparison is not gratuitous, since Smugglers is quite similar to the gallery of villains and thugs that populate the story. They all have a common interest, money, but obviously, for their own benefit. Corrupt police, betrayals, pacts are not missing from the event. And everything passed through water. Between the time in which it is set, the 70s and the large number of underwater scenes, it took me back to the times of Thunderball.
The James Bond film starring Sean Connery, which at the time was advertised as having great action scenes with submariners. It is clear that many years have passed, but what we see here in Smugglers far surpasses that, and one wonders what that watered-down Bond would be like now.
They would surely take note of what they saw in this one. And if I were you, I would also write it down in your diary to see these criminal divers who will surely catch you.
