Believe it or not, Emergency Declaration was conceived before the pandemic, but it’s just about the most thrilling way a film can capitalize on our fears — of the virus, of flying, of governments making a problem worse — without directly exploiting the international nightmare we’ve all been living lately.

Emergency Declaration, a piercing thriller from the South Korean writer-director Han Jae-rim, manages to deliver excitement and melodrama out of a ludicrous story line. Read full review

The performances are uniformly solid, especially by the two leads, and the generally low-key cinematic style keeps us in the pocket of the story. Read full review

This is still star-driven, big-screen goofiness writ large, something to be consumed with popcorn and a crowd, and that fact its hitting U.S. screens during the summer dog days couldn’t be more welcome. You just might want to wear two masks in the theater. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are many developments and it will exceed your imagination.

Not just terrorism, but also political aspects were involved, which reminded me of a little Shin Godzilla development. How to draw the government side, how to draw foreign countries, etc.

The appearance of a police officer solving problems head-on was truly a superhero movie. I thought that Lee Byung Hun was the main character, but Song Kang Ho of Parasite was the real main character. Song Kang Ho, really good.

Anyway, everyone who comes out is a good person. It's supposed to be a scary and panic movie about plane terrorism, but it's a warm and gentle movie. Even in the theater, I could hear everyone's sobs, and something touched me. I'm glad it ended with a happy ending.… Expand

There are many moments that reminded me of Train to Busan, of course without the zombies, and it also has some slowdowns that I did not like at all because they cut the tension of what is happening on the plane and those events are the most important of this film.

It also has too big a drawback when the script begins to look for other problems once the cure is found, you can see how the film begins to drag on without sense and therefore all the suspense built in the beginning ends in something that no longer makes much sense in its final act.

It was looking good, but it gets lost because of its own plot errors.… Expand
