Project Wolf Hunting

A cargo ship carrying dangerous convicts sails under heavy guard and becomes a trap when an escape plan erupts. The riot shakes the vessel from bow to stern, forcing everyone on board to improvise under pressure. The fight spills through cramped corridors and dim holds as loyalties fracture and old feuds flare. Guards scramble to regain control while inmates press toward freedom, each decision sharpened by fear and distrust. Beneath the deck, a darker threat lurks, unseen and hungry, hinting that danger lies beyond the gunmen and the obvious threat below.

Directed by Kim Hong-sun with screenplay by Kim and Lee Yoon-ho, Project Wolf Hunting arrived on screens in 2022. The film draws on original material and features Seo In-guk, Jang Dong-yoon, Park Ho-san, Jung So-min, and Ko Chang-seok in roles.

Reception has been mixed, with an average around 6.4 from 418 votes. The film probes confinement and moral ambiguity as crew and inmates collide in a shipboard siege. The tight corridors magnify fear and the claustrophobic angles heighten sense of peril as characters face tough choices about loyalty and duty. The pace remains brisk and rarely lingers on any single moment.

Cultural impact remains limited, given its niche release and modest performance. It has not sparked widespread memes or notable pop culture references, but some viewers may appreciate the brisk pace, practical effects, and performances that heighten the uneasy mood of a contained thriller.
