"Night in Paradise" begs not to be watched until after dark. But Park's latest allows in just enough light to illuminate his genius, even if it leaves you wishing that there was a little bit more to see.

Leisurely pacing rather draws it all out a bit, but there's real inventiveness to the way Park wrong-foots the viewer and handles the operatic displays of gunfire and death - and the leads are rather charming.

Night in Paradise contains a lot of good plotting, several amusing characters and a decent array of exciting action scenes and bloodshed. But it is indulgently long, even within scenes...

It has, in my opinion, an interesting start that sometimes propels the plot with gratuitous violence, but the intensity is lost with each stab and it rarely abandons the predictable topics of betrayal, loyalty and revenge. [Full review in Spanish]
