A solid action thriller about a man who wakes up after an accident to find out he's not the person he used to be. To make matters worse, it turns out he'll "transform" into someone else every 12 hours.

The sci-fi gimmick is mostly used for a Bourne-style recipe; for every bit of mystery that the protagonist manages to clarify we get a round of fistfights, chases or shootouts. I wish that the film did more with its concept but it still manages to entertain throughout its runtime. There's almost no need to highlight the film's cinematography as it is as polished as we've come to expect from Korean thrillers. The last action scene is obviously heavily inspired by John Wick, but that doesn't take away from its intensity and well-done choreography.

Recommended for fans of high-concept Korean thrillers; however, they might need to lower their expectations a bit since this isn't really a top-tier pick in the genre.

The special effects live up to the intriguing sci-fi premise, but the interpersonal presentation is inconsistently revealed and murkily convoluted. The initial slow pacing causes the setup of the story to drag out. Then the hyper action-packed finale comes in the form of a frenzied resolution without enough satisfaction of the plot complications.

The dubbed dialog mis-coordinates with the subtitles for increased confusion and sometimes results in unintended hilarity.

The bad guys have way too much of the upper hand throughout, and there is nowhere near enough righteous retribution. Even so, it manages to have an upbeat ending and turns out to be worth the watch.

Entertaining but far from being perfect. It was a bit confusing at the beginning, later on things got clear gradually, some events and scenes weren't convincing to me, more or less mannered, however I liked the action stuff, the continuous tension which was pleasant, overall, not bad.

The idea of concept is amazing and something you don't see it usually, including Action and Sci-Fi mixed very good with a lot of potential.

The man was killed, but his soul was here to take the revenge and save his wife.

Definitely doesn't deserve this rating 6.2, It's on general 7.5/10.

A solid Korean thriller that boasts some commendable action sequences; it seems to me that Korean cinema has moved on from being inspired by the BOURNE films to instead being inspired by the JOHN WICK franchise. And who can blame them? This one's a version of the perennial 'body jump' storyline, and it's as complex and fast-paced as befits that premise, so much so that there's never a dull second, just the plot moving inexorably onwards.
