I've been a fan of Korean actor Park So-dam for a while now, so when I got the chance to watch her latest action thriller movie Special Delivery I didn't hesitate. So-dam plays a North Korean defector turned special driver who takes on risky clients and delivers them no matter what to their destination, using only her insanely amazing talent at driving cars. She also takes care not to get involved with any of them, at least until the young son of a runaway gambler asks for her help. Meanwhile, a corrupt and seriously sadistic police captain (masterfully played by Song Sae-byeok) murders the gambler and comes after his son.
This movie is pretty dark, very violent and packed with action driving scenes that I have to say are some of the best I've ever watched. So-dam was completely convincing in the role, and took time to really let down her defenses to get involved with her very young client, Seo-won (beautifully played by Jung Hyeon-jun). It was a tad too violent for me, but I can't deny I enjoyed the non-violent parts, and the action driving is stellar. Available on Viki.com.
