About Hard Hit Movie:

Hard Hit (Korean: 발신제한) is a South Korean action crime thriller film directed by Kim Chang-ju. It is a remake of a 2015 Spanish action thriller film Retribution, directed by Dani de la Torre. The film stars Jo Woo-jin, Lee Jae-in, Jin Kyung, and Ji Chang-wook.

On January 13, 2020, Ji Chang-wook was confirmed to be starring in the film alongside Jo Woo-jin. Ji Chang-wook last appeared on the big screen in the 2017 film Fabricated City. It also marked Kim Ji-ho’s return to the screen after a four-year break; her last appearance was in the 2017 film Steel Rain.

Filming began in early February 2020 in Haeundae City, a district of Busan, and was completed in May 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in less crowded roads, allowing chase scenes to be filmed comfortably.

Hard Hit was theatrically released on June 23, 2021. The film was a hit, crossing the 500,000 viewer mark on the 10th day of its release, the first for a Korean film in 2021. As of December 22, 2021, it is the fifth highest-grossing Korean film of 2021 and ranks number 17 among all films released in South Korea that year, with a gross of $7.70 million and 955,809 admissions.
