Special Delivery

A car covered in dents, cracks, and blood spatters might not seem like a desirable object to most people, but Eun-ha sees it differently. In Special Delivery, she routinely picks up an old banger from the police station. And then puts the pedal to the metal.

Eun-ha – played by Park So-Dam (Parasite, 2019) – is a taxi driver who specialises in criminals and fugitives. This rough-and-ready driver has an arsenal of tricks and stunts for when robbers need the fastest possible getaway. And business is good – until a screaming kid bangs on her car door. His father has been taken by merciless debt collectors, so Eun-ha has little choice but to look after the young boy.

With thrilling car chases, bloody eruptions of violence, and a pumping soundtrack, director Park Dae-Min keeps the adrenaline flowing. And Park So-Dam turns in a great lead performance, as a veteran action heroine with an at times comical nonchalant attitude.
