Aachi wa Ssipak belongs in the categories of absurd movies, though this one has been made by Koreans. Right from the start, it’s clear what the purpose of this movie is going to be: breaking as many taboos as possible. Constipation, drug abuse and addiction, useless violence, crime, porn, you name it, and chances are big that Aachi wa Ssipak has got it. Especially if you’re into toilet-humour, then this should be a movie to consider to check out.
But yeah, the formula gets old very fast, and it doesn’t help that the characters are very, very hard to like. Every single one will probably get on your nerves due to their endless stupidity. The endless violence also gets old very soon, and after a blue mutant has been killed for the tenth time, then the fun quickly dies. (Seriously, how many of them are there anyway? It feels like thousands of them got slaughtered in the making of this movie).
Thankfully, later on the movie manages to redeem itself with a very entertaining mining-cart chase-scene. In fact, the action-scenes look overall very good, which prevented this movie from becoming a total waste of time. This isn’t the first time where a movie tries to be as gross as possible, and while it does add something new with the huge emphasis on defecation, it’s ot really my cup of tea.
Obviously, you should keep this one away from your little brother and sister. This is an interesting movie to watch with a bunch of friends while bored, though. The stupidity of the characters is enough to laugh at, and the action remains fresh. This is a Korean production after all, and these guys do have a knack for interesting action-scenes.
