The superhero saga gets a distinctly Korean twist in the high-octane, high-spirited romp Hi-Five, the latest from Swing Kids director Kang Hyoung-chul.

When a mysterious organ donor dies, the recipients of their vital organs, all unknown to each other, begin to develop strange new powers. Five of them band together as an unlikely superhero crew, while the sixth, the ailing leader of a cult, hunts them down to absorb their powers.

Bursting with comic book flair, Hi-Five blends mirth and mayhem, keeping the foot on the gas and tongue firmly in cheek throughout.
