This movie was action packed from start to finish, exactly how this kind of film should be. I don't think Hollywood productions have anything on this movie. It reminded me of The Bourne Supremacy with Matt Damon and The Fugitive with Harrison Ford. I wonder if Gong Yoo tapped into Matt Damon or if Park Hee Soon has watched Tommy Lee Jones. Their roles were similar to the lead characters in those 2 films. The close up and fast moving camera shots were like the Jason Bourne series of films. Though here, I felt it was used more discriminately. I remember getting a bit of a headache after watching the US movies but had no problem watching this film. The fight scenes, as well as the foot and car chase sequences were amazing. I liked how the background music didn’t play during some of the fight scenes. I’m not sure why I noticed that but I did. Just hearing the sound effects of hard hits, breaking wood and screeching metal had more impact. This movie was full of suspense and intrigue. It took a while to figure out who all the players were and who belonged with what organization but that was part of the fascination of the film. Defectors, government agents from various organizations and independent media personalities made for a complex and intricate story. It was a fun ride trying to tie all the characters together and understand their motivations. A piece of the puzzle would slide into place and another question created itself. The twists and turns this movie delivered were fantastic. The extra layer of several characters being defectors brought an additional political aspect to the movie. When I think of defectors I think of Russia, not North Korea (though that has changed since I've started watching so many Kdramas). Seeing some of the issues defectors must face in South Korea was interesting. This movie had some snappy dialogue. While the action scenes were the highlight of the movie (thank you Gong Yoo!), I especially appreciated the interactions involving the spy chaser, Se Hoon (Hee Soon). He was an intelligent guy and a bit of a smart ass. I got a kick out of his no nonsense, not going to take any crap attitude. His banter with his associate was funny. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes fast paced, intelligent action films. This one had thrilling action and a good story to back it up. I was glued to the screen the whole time and loved the suspense.
