Gongjo 2: Inteonaesyeonal

I enjoyed the pace and comic tone of this comic action movie. Hyun Bin plays it mostly serious so it's good that we have Daniel Henney with his bilingual dialogue and Yoona's sweet crushes to provide some effective comic relief. The story is quite easy to follow too not convoluted and has a little international elements with 3 countries trying to catch the bad guy. The action sequences on high rise buildings and shoot outs from NYC to Seoul are all quite well choreographed and fresh enough. You might think you have seen enough Hollywood action scenes but the ones here are high standard. Everyone looks nice and slim compared to Hollywood and it's steroid pumped up looking heroes. A refreshing change.

I haven't seen the original film Gongjo/Confidential Assignment, but I did hear that it was a pretty average "turn your brain off and enjoy" action flick, so I went into this with zero expectations. I was actually hooked from beginning to end, as the action scenes were surprisingly satisfying, the music during said scenes got me pumped up, and the comic relief was very tastefully done. In a nutshell, I would describe it as a cross between "The Man From Nowhere" and "Extreme Job." As those are two of my favorite Korean flicks, I enjoyed this one very much and would recommend it to all action fans who also have an interest in Korean films.

If you are looking for a good action movie, this is the one! It has everything: action, comedy, suspense until the end without being bored. It's worth it! I recommend this movie! Even you are not into Korean movies or kdrama, this movie catch your attention, because of the story line, the actors are great!

Their acting skills are impressive along with the stunts performed and the plot of the movie it's intriguing, also continues the story line from Confidential Assignment 1: 2017.

PS: I also recommend to watch first part of Confidential Assignment 1: 2017, in order to have a better picture of the story line, before watching the second part.

Bomb dive into an empty pool , a pool that once where filled with good old original stuff that has become generic like the word genre. But by all means, if you like actioncomedy from the 80's youll might find the actors and stupid romance pretty suitable for you, because south corean comedy with ''a slap in the face'' commands and huge set explotions and shootouts thats out of the realms of this world can be funny and the s.k. Agent of the 3 musqito eaters is just eminent in his facts and follies, hes the kind that looks like a salt and pepper dispenser, a mouthful of corean comedy talent.

But its not more than entertainment now, 35 years too late to be called exceptional, just a 6 from the grumpy old man.

Six years on from the success of the first buddy-buddy cop movie we get this follow-up, which expands the action to an international level. I felt that, on the whole, this film has the edge to its predecessor. The two main characters are back and their camaraderie feels more effortless, more natural here, and it helps that Hyun Bin's character comes across as less abrasive and more likeable too. There's a new American character who's okay, plus some returning others. You can tell that this is a bigger budget production because the action is more frequent and more explosive, while the choreography continues to impress. A slight but fun comedic thriller.
