On a cargo ship en route from the Philippines to South Korea, a group of criminals unites to stage a coordinated attempt to escape. As the jailbreak escalates into a bloody riot, the fugitives and their allies from the outside exact a brutal terror campaign against the police officers onboard in this action-packed thriller.
Project Wolf Hunting goes for broke in terms of exquisite beatdown violence in the pursuit of primal genre happiness. Writer/director Kim Hong-seon executes like there’s a going-out-of-business sale on fake blood, and we reap the benefits as showstopping displays of action-horror devastation take center stage.

No moment on this anything-but-love boat has the impact of, say, the seasickness sequence of “Triangle of Sadness,” but slaughter stans will get their butchery bellyfuls.
Project Wolf Hunting is a brutally efficient killing machine long before the supernatural twist stomps into the proceedings. That almost seems like a gimmick-too-far.

There’s a definite beginning, a doughy middle, and a gaping end to “Project Wolf Hunting,” but they somehow don’t cohere into a feature-length spectacle.
Slant Magazine by Steven Scaife
There’s an admirably propulsive, single-minded sense of purpose to the film’s commitment to gore.
