Reviews
Sunday Punch received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a moderate rating reflecting a divide in audience enjoyment, with many praising Yoo Dong-geun’s compelling performance and the movie’s emotional depth, while others found the pacing slow and the plot somewhat predictable. Critics from Korea JoongAng Daily commended its authentic portrayal of the sports world and the strong character development, noting, "Yoo Dong-geun delivers a powerful performance that carries the film through its quieter moments." However, some reviewers on Asian cinema forums criticized the film for relying heavily on sports film clichés and lacking originality in storytelling. The movie did not receive a significant presence on Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, indicating limited international coverage. Overall, Sunday Punch stands out as a heartfelt sports drama with notable performances but falls short of breaking new ground in its genre.
