Quick and a Korean Take on Speed: First Poster

Some cheesy moments and high adrenaline action may very well be the saving grace of Quick, a Korean-made film. The name will not get any headlines, since it looks like Keanu Reeve's Speed on acid, but mix in some fun from the opening act of Katsuhiro Otomo's animated opus, Akira, with some stylistic cinematography and trippy stunts, this film may potentially be a product to check out.

There are no psychics or secret government agendas to keep an eye out for. Instead, the fun and thrills of motorcycle races is certainly more thrilling to watch than a clumsy city bus that can't stop.

Ki-Soo (Lee Min-Ki) was a member of a motorcycle gang during his youth, so audiences have to wonder if the invisible antagonist is part of Soo's past. He is clean now, and is working as a delivery service. But when one of his latest trips proves to be dangerous, he's coerced to make another delivery that raises the stakes.

His attractive rider, Ah-Rom (Kang Hye-Won), is wearing a helmet that has a bomb built-in. If Soo can't make the delivery in time or he attempts to run, the bomb-helmet is going to explode …

Quick premiered in South Korea on July 20, 2011 and made its' American premiere at Otakon, July 29, 2011, a Japanese Animation convention in Baltimore, Maryland. More screenings may occur in the remainder of this year and next. Please check your local film festival and event listings.
