A He Says She Says review by Knowles and Knowles 

A freak accident has given Kim Kyung-Soo mysterious new powers which he is reluctant to use.  Despite his wish to be left alone others continually try to challenge him to test themselves against such a formidable adversary.  This perceived propensity for fighting means that he has been expelled from all possible schools, the last one being Volcano High.  This school has many feuding factions within it and all vie to tie the newcomer to their group as the rumours of his capabilities grow within the school.  When the Principal is mysteriously taken ill the Vice-Principal calls upon a group of teachers who specialise in confronting wayward students to take control of the school. This new group of teachers appear unbeatable till the final fight involving Kyung-Soo.  

She says  As far as teen angst movies go this leaves all the American ones for dead.  Full of really fit, good looking young people with serious attitude issues this is an excellent movie.  It has terrific fight scenes using many different techniques.  Detracting slightly from the story were the hammy faces and acting that seems to be almost obligatory in this kind of movie.  

He says Imagine if Harry Potter was directed by the Wachowski Brothers(Matrix) with a bit of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon thrown in. The movie in your mind would probably be Volcano High. The way the characters are introduced, freeze framed with sub titled names and descriptions, reminds me of the classic Streetfighter game. The fight scenes are as good as you can get and don’t disappoint. Icy Jade- the beautiful but chase captain of the all girl Kendo team suits her nickname as she shows little emotion throughout the movie, but plays a good counterpart to Kyung-Soo. I really enjoyed this story and have no problems adding it to my collection.
