Mission Cross

Mission Cross (2024) is good to watch. In my perspective i will give it upper than average rating. It is not like hilarious, fantastic and super but it is okay to watch. The ending of the was fine. Action scene and funny moments was good part of the movie. I could rate it more than i am giving, if the movie story bit high. I will definitely recommend it to watch this if you are looking for more than average rating movie and spending a random time this movie is good for you. You will enjoy this movie for sure at least. The ending part was also good though. So i suggest you to watch.

Keuroseu or mission cross is a netflix orginal korean comedy film. I think it does very well and actually mixes comedy well with the crime elements. It has a pretty good cast that all work well together and the action elements are both fun to watch and funny, especially when the detective uses her knuckle taser. This film focuses on a couple, kang mi seon the detecitve and her husband park kang moo and she does not know about his previous life, so while investigating something major its not long before the unlikely heroes team up to protect one another in the ultimate test to their marriage. This was overall a pretty fantastic film.

While action dramas are not my favorite genre, I do occasionally enjoy them for a change of pace and this film filled the niche nicely. I really enjoyed the plot line - it has some good twists that are well set up by the previous story-line (I hate plot twists that are set up via misleading scenes and fortunately, this show doesn't stoop to that level).

I thought the action scenes were very well played except for the climactic scene which did go for the cannon fodder trope (having masses of enemy combatants blindly run thru doors or around corners so they can be mowed down by the protagonists). I'll give them a pass on it since it was at the end and thus did not detract from the rest of the show.

I really enjoyed the nuanced humor that was interspersed within the more series aspects of the show and I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic between the two leads, Hwang Jung-min and Yum Jung-ah. Their interactions as a married couple was fun to watch.

Well worth the 100 minute run time.

Hwang Jung-min is one of my favorite actors out of South-Korea and his movies are always a prize to see.

This one is also one of his biggest. He plays the houseman of a very tough policewoman, and she doesn't know his past. But, she will find out, and then the movie begins even better.

Cant tell too much, just relax and enjoy this action/comedy.

Don't forget to watch the scene were he has glasses and tries to infiltrate with a truck for sewers. And later acts like a patient from the facility.

Also, the supporting roles are very good and funny.

For me, this is a very good solid actionflick fom the south-koreans.

Just watch and enjoy.

MISSION: CROSS is kind of the Korean version of MR & MRS SMITH, following the story of an unhappily married suburban couple. The wife is a top police officer while the husband stays at home and runs the place, but of course he holds some secrets too and eventually the characters collide in a typical spy/action/suspense plotline. I found this one a bit of a disappointment as although the action is okay, it's too mannered and hyper-stylised to really work. Hwang Jang Min is a reliable screen presence but the actress playing his wife overacts horrible and the repeatedly forays into slow motion just look silly. It's an entirely forgettable action comedy.
