    This Korean movie is a bit over-the-top extreme

    But nonetheless still a very exciting action packed thriller. I don't think this movie would be allowed to be released in China, 'cause most of the incidents happened in a north-east China city. Both South Korean and Japanese were involved in non-stop battles against each other, trying to get a top secret from the North Korean chief of intelligence. The acting part from the South Korean actors were absolutely great. The screenplay was also carried out perfectly. All the fighting scenes also looked quite real and seamless. This movie also carried a hidden message that both North Korea and South Korea seemed to realize neither Japanese nor American government would like to have a unified Korea and, of course, neither CCP China like North Korea united with South Korea. This hidden message is just an open secret that most of the people in the world, except those naive ones, already knew such fact. This is a very unique and exciting thriller, even it's a bit absurd, still highly recommended.

    Interesting movie with slight overthinking storyline

    The film was good, the South Korean actors are very good in different types of films or TV series, especially in politics, military and law enforcement themes. Considering the current state of North Korea is to tread carefully with the storyline in relation to leaders of North Korea; as the films illustrates a espionage battle with Chinese and Japanese agents. However, I can see why the overthinking of the storyline could take place, considering one scene with a member of North Korean's central committee was in a very vulnerable position. Though, historically, a united Korea was considered a threat to Japan and US. Moreover, the film has a very cool visual with exciting drama and suspense. For history geeks, try not to decode too deeply with the storyline, its good action film.

    Good Spy thriller

    It is a very good action spy thriller with many twists. If you want to spend your time action packed thriller, and entertainment, it is a good choice. I watched the dubbed one, which is good as well.

    Good 2 hours movie on Netflix

    Came across this new Korea action movie on Netflix. Storyline was intriguing and fast pace. Quite a few plot twist and good action. Look like there is going to have a sequel. Can't wait to see.

    It was solid........

    While some of the action scenes were filmed rather poorly, the action scenes were acceptable. It is a nothing special, solid enough spy movie. The background is very visually cool. And the writing was fine. There is nothing wrong with this film, its just not a special movie or a movie that stands out. But thats not always bad. Overall if you like spy films this is a solid enough spy film.
