	Author	Review
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Hoon-jung is back with another stylish-looking South Korean blood-and-mob fest"	POS
United Kingdom	Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"[It] looks for most of its running time like the sort of cult-friendly genre discovery one could watch and then crow over before an inevitable Hollywood remake comes out (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"Addicts of Asian gangster action will relish, but the odd mix of hardcore viscerality and ruminative borderline-sentiment could limit the film’s appeal."	NEU
United States	Jason Shawhan AV Club	"The visual storytelling in this dark and violent character study is impeccable (...) [It] is an exceptional resource for anyone trying to understand how stories can be told within the frame"	POS
United Kingdom	Rhian Daly NME	"If you’re able to overlook the occasional see-saw between extraneous gore and sentimentality, though, 'Night In Paradise' is up there with the most compelling Korean gangster movies in recent years (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A bruising and brilliant mob epic (...) It’s all too easy to appreciate Park’s unique set of skills in a movie that relies on them so infrequently."	NEU
