    Passable entertainment... Not much more.

    South Korean superstar, Hwang Jung-min, plays himself in a movie about a celebrity kidnapping for ransom. It is based off a true story that occurred in China back in 2004. The film is somewhat pedestrian, never quite delivering the thrills it intends. It is merely passable entertainment and nothing more.

    Left me baffled whom i should look up more

    Competent thriller that left me baffled whether i should look up more on protagonist or antagonist. Pil Gam-sung's directorial debut got some intense fight and car chase scenes while enhanced by Jung-min's credible acting as a fanfiction character.

    Just ok

    The movie was ticking along quite well than it just went all stupid in the last 10-20mins. Was going to give it a much higher score but the last 10mins were just silly and i mean silly especially from the police side of things. You'll see what i mean when you watch it without giving it away.

    Entertaining

    Korean thriller movies are giving me what Hollywood is missing these past few years. Hollywood turned to superhero movies while Korea comes out with original movies that are rare nowadays. And you won't be disappointed if you like Korean thriller. It's not perfect. Some situations are super dumb. But all that matter is that you'll spend a good time watching this.

    Eat your heart out Hollywood!

    Definitely the best action thriller I have seen in 2021. I found it riveting from start to finish. Unlike Hollywood movies this South Korean flick keeps it real. Superb acting, and fast paced entertainment.
