Reviews:
“Comparing the film with the American films Baby Driver (2017) and Drive (2011), Korean Kyunghyang newspaper stated that the film is fun, and “the scene design that takes advantage of the cultural characteristics of Korea is interesting”. However, “Special Delivery easily utilizes the plight of the socially disadvantaged and children as a combination suitable for genre films.” Kyunghyang [translated from Korean]
” …a competent genre product to be appreciated for its taut and efficient handling of story and action. While it is clearly influenced by a number of well-known seniors ranging from Walter Hill’s The Driver (1978) to John Cassavetes’ Gloria (1980), the movie has enough style and substance to engage and entertain us, and it also confirms again to us the considerable talent and presence of its lead performer.” 3/4 Seongyong’s Private Place
“Special Delivery is an above-average film with well-developed characters as well as plenty of action of both the four-wheeled and two-fisted varieties. It’s also nice to see a Korean action film with a female lead as that’s something of a rarity, though, given her performance here, So-dam Park may be the actress who can change that.” 4 out of 5, Voices from the Balcony
