Mi-syeon pa-seo-beul

This bit of fluff starts off seeming irredeemably silly, with a mistaken-identity pairing for a confusing spy mission. One might be tempted (as I was) to look elsewhere within the first 30, or so, minutes. That first impression of a poor Jackie Chan action comedy wannabe lingers for a while, but, as counselors might say to troubled teens, it gets better.

About halfway in, the inane plot and odd pair of protagonists start to make more sense. Even better, some really good fight choreography and stunt work join the proceedings, greatly reducing the gap between this one and any of Jackie's templates. Overall, nothing memorable, but still an amusing diversion that finishes much stronger than its shaky start portends.
