“Mojin: The Lost Legend” is currently playing at Seattle’s AMC Pacific Place 11 Theater, 600 Pine Street, Pacific Place Mall, Seattle. Any fan of monsters, mazes, catacombs, hidden fortresses, ancient curses, and obstinate love stories, should be happy to buy a ticket and take the ride.

The interactions break down to basics, for both action and comedy. There, a big boss who works for a mysterious bigger boss, pulls them in for one last job. They decamp, perhaps not entirely voluntarily, to New York City. They find themselves in over their heads and they lose Ding. Unscramble the plot’s progress and it seems standard. But it bends the rules of the universe, and linear development, to get there.
