SEOBOK is a Korean sci-fi thriller that tries to mix the best of both worlds in the story of a clone and the man assigned to protect him from nefarious agents. The sci-fi elements are well done and the exploration of humanity works well, while the film's action beats frequently hit. The Koreans have always done chase films well and the suspense engages here, which is why it's a shame that the story plods in between the exciting moments. It becomes obvious that this was shot during lockdown as there are long stretches where it's just a couple of characters going on a road trip and chatting interminably. It does drag after a while but then picks up for a dramatic climax.
