Korean name: Eonni Language: Korean South Korea: A daughter, adept in the skills of Korean martial arts, promised her dying father before his passing to always defend her sister from danger. No matter what. Non parcet! (in Latin means: Show no mercy!) The movie is very good, as it showed unconditional love for the sister. The main character sacrificed a lot to do revenge. The characters were all good actors, especially the main character and her sister. I'm giving this movie a 9/10 because something in it gave it that feeling of good quality, however, there were attacks that weren't so good. Even though the movie claims Korean martial arts, which I'm certain is true, there were action scenes that were not up to par of a a ten movie because the chance of surviving them as a woman was nigh on impossible. However... the red dress was very feminine... and it was so cool that the director came up with that idea of it being used in her main fights as a color which represents: War and Bloodshed.

No Mercy tells the story of In-ae, a former bodyguard and ex-convict, who embarks on a brutal journey to rescue her mentally challenged sister Eun-hye from abuse, trafficking, and political corruption. As she uncovers the horrifying truth behind her sister’s suffering, the film explores dark social issues like bullying, sexual violence, and power abuse. Despite some plot inconsistencies and underwhelming action sequences, strong performances—especially from Park Se-wan—make this action-thriller a gripping, emotionally-charged watch.
