If you need to get a package from one place to another, and the postal service won’t touch it, who do you turn to? To Jang Eun-ha and her sketchy boss Baek, that’s who. As a sideline to Baek’s junkyard business, he brokers special deliveries—anything, anywhere, any which way. Getting there is the task of Jang, an ace driver of unmatched sangfroid. She may not be as cold-blooded as she likes to think, though. When a former baseball player lands himself in hot water with gangsters, she finds his son Seo-won in the backseat of her car, with the key to a corrupt cop’s illicit funds in his pocket and a swarm of murderous henchmen on his tail. Getting herself and the kid out of this mess—alive—will mean pushing her vehicular skills to the max, and more!
High-priority cargo is on its way from South Korea, with contents under extreme pressure, and the guaranteed time of arrival is this summer on the Fantasia screen! SPECIAL DELIVERY riffs without shame on DRIVE and BABY DRIVER but takes the automotive action, the hand-to-hand combat, and above all the emotional stakes to the next level. Having helmed the period pieces PRIVATE EYE and SEONDAL: THE MAN WHO SELLS THE RIVER, director Park Dae-min is no stranger to lively, comedy-infused crime thrillers, and shifts gear to the modern era with ease. The entirely enjoyable cast is led by Park So-dam (Ki-jung in PARASITE!) in the driver’s seat. Buckle up for one kick-ass thriller, roaring forward at way past the speed limit! – Rupert Bottenberg
