Korean Cinema "The Beast" is action film like "Taken" & "The Man From Nowhere"

THE BEAST on HULU. (English Subtitles). It was released back in 2011. Here is a short synopsis, "Tae-Hoon is set to enlist in an elite military group, learns that his sister Kang Bo-Ra has been abducted and will appear live on an underground internet porn site. Tae-Hoon puts aside his military obligations and sets out to find his sister. With only a 48 hour window and little clues to go on, Tae-Hoon finds himself going up against the mob, cops & a military team looking for their awol soldier." 

The action sequences were great to watch. It did however lack the character depth of its' near similar predecessor, "The Man From Nowhere." That film was a box office smash in Korea & it also streamed online at "Hulu" to great popularity. If you like some good fight scenes with not much else. "The Beast" is for you.
