If you're going to use CGIs for major action scenes in a film, then get your s*it together! And if I wanted to watch an animation film, I wouldn't have bothered with this. I couldn't believe how comical all the tigers appeared, let alone the bullet-dodging skills of the "Lord Tiger". The story line is somewhat plausible up until when the tigers appear on screen. The director of this film needs to understand that CG-animals in successful films like Revenant work mainly because of the limited screen time given to the bear. The human brain won't tolerate something so unnatural for long periods of time unless it knows it has come to watch a cartoon!! Choi Min-sik's presence alone isn't enough to carry this project. Most of the supporting cast seemed clueless, almost struggling, probably because there were no actual tigers to interact with on set. What made the entire experience borderline-painful was its 2 hour-plus duration - waaay too long!! The only reason I didn't rate this lower is because of the lead-character's (fruitless) efforts to salvage it.
