I was looking for an action movie. I saw this title, with Seagals face on the cover, with his name on it, with screen shots from the fighting scenes on the back cover, the description read as if this was some good action movie. But none of this holds true. Instead what we get is some kind of a melodrama about a single father and his little daughter.The dubbing of this movie is awful. Seems like they got the worst of the worst voice actors for this movie, so I really advise you to watch this in original language with subtitles. It can only make the movie better! The story is very confusing as there are big plot holes. The father (Lee Dong-Jun) is fighting for the world champion title in Taekwondo, but after a wrong decision from the ref, he loses the fight. At the same time his wife is giving birth to their child. The mother dies.Years later, the daughter runs into a woman in a supermarket, they both get to know each other. And it turns out that this woman is the thought-to-be-dead mother of the little girl. Oh wow, what a plot twist. How on earth can such a "mistake" happen? She was in a hospital. They declared her dead even though she really wasn't? And why didn't the mother try to contact her daughter or her husband? Or maybe it even was explained during the movie, but it was so boring (remember, I expected an action movie!) that I simply must have missed this "plot twist". But even if there's a "plot twist" there: What where the reasons for the mother to leave the family? And if she wasn't dead and did have her reasons to leave them... why doesn't she just move along after she discovers who the father of this little girl is? And what exactly where the reasons to kidnap the little girl, only for this show match to take place? Oh yeah, and who thought it would be funny to advertise this movie with Seagal if he only appears for like 6 minutes in it? Conclusion: If you are into Korean movies, you might want to take a look at this. Camera work is OK most of the time, some of the fight scenes that happen at the beginning of the movie are OK as well (the "5 against 5 cage match" and the final battle are poorly cut and there's no real flow to the fights). All the others, just stay the hell away from this.

this movie doesn't really qualify as a Seagal movie since Seagal appears in it for ten minutes in total,at the most.it's really a just a generic action drama,emphasis on the drama.it's a three hanky weeper at times,and hard to get through.even in the action scenes,(most of which Seagal does not appear in)there is nothing to distinguish this from countless others of the genre.it's a Korean film,so that might or might not explain the heavy emphasis on the drama.regardless,it doesn't work for me.i found it too boring and the acting was just too overwrought for me to enjoy it.plus,i found the story pretty depressing.but maybe that just me.for me, Clementine is a 3/10.

I am a huge Seagal fan, and you will find my reviews on most of his films on this site. I ordered Clementine via Amazon more to complete my collection as I had read that Seagal has "little more than a cameo" in this film. My biggest compliment to Seagal is, this film had to have been filmed on a small budget...and I highly doubt Seagal is hurting for cash...so he must have done this film in gratitude to somebody involved with either the production or direction. The fight scenes are decent-however one can clearly see that it is not Seagal in the cage when the camera is shooting from a farther distance. It reminded me of the fight scenes in "Half Past Dead" thugh they lasted a little longer. Decent movie, hard to get into because of the subtitles, definitely a film only for hardcore Seagal fans.

This is quite possibly THE worst movie I've ever seen in my life. I cannot believe all the positive reviews on this travesty of so-called 'film'. Only explanation to those reviews are that they're probably not native Korean speakers and therefore cannot comprehend what's really going on. Poor acting, poor casting, and one of the most unoriginal plot in history of movie making makes this movie a classic. Steven Seagal? Why? They spent more dough on casting him than the entire film making. Not to mention the first part of the movie... where Seagal is fighting years back... and it's somebody else! I think Seagal signed a contract where he CANNOT participate in a movie if his role plays over 5 minutes. They dubbed this garbage as a 'mixed martial arts movie' in Korea when it got all trendy all of a sudden, to target the UFC and Pride fans. What a disappointment.. There is at least one positive aspect of this film, at the end... a classic humor, I might add. Main character goes, "Taekwondo is a state of mind" with the worst Korean accent and Seagal touches his heart saying, "I know..." if this isn't the cheesiest line of all time, I don't know what is. It did make me laugh hard... so I got my money's worth on this one.
