“The Divine FurynRegal Cinemas Dole CannerynPupule rating: 3.5 (out of 4)nThe first thing I said to fatlark when the film ended was, if this had been made in the US (or anywhere but South Korea), this wouldnu0026#39;t have worked. There are just a few elements that make this work, and far more numerous reasons why Divine Fury could have failed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd yet, this was two-plus hours of entertainment. Not an action flick pretending to be a comedy. Just direct, small cast, intense action. It has a rhythm that is somewhat predictable, so maybe critics didnu0026#39;t like that. But this is what it is and nothing more: an exorcist action movie with a tremendous, if unusual buddy duo. This film shines brightest when Father Ahn is gracefully mentoring this MMA champion who u0026quot;hates Godu0026quot; yet is willing to fight alongside the priest against demons.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt sounds wacky and borders on tacky. It ainu0026#39;t perfect. But if they can reunite this cast for a series or sequel, Iu0026#39;m all in.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt another level, this could possibly be the start of a new genre: Asian superhero mutants. #divinefurymovie #pickledmangohawaii”
