Synopsis

Having supernatural powers isn’t easy: Just ask transfer student Kim (Hyuk Jang), who’s been booted from eight high schools for not controlling his special abilities. Newly arrived at Volcano High — long in turmoil as rival student groups and the faculty vie for supremacy — Kim alters the balance of power as the competing factions seek a secret martial arts text that will restore order. Min-a Shin also stars in this kinetic action yarn.

All action and no characters. Complete bore.

CROWS ZERO meets KUNG FU HUSTLE, but half as inspired. All the over-the-top "action" is in slow-mo and is aided by special effects and wires; no actual fight talent necessary. But even then, it's hard to look away, even at it's 2 hour length.
