Although he is a serial killer, there must be some motive to kill him. Despite having more than two hours of screen time, his motive is not clear.

Movie throw light on corrupt justice System( police,Politicians)that how society badly suffer by corrupt Law & enforcement ,,,Rich people after Horrendous Crime safe Reason money & bad law & order
South Korean movie industry produces one of the finest movies, especially action thrillers and this one is no exception. Even though a one time watch, offers one of the best action scenes, screenplay, direction, dialogues. Nail biting thriller you are looking for. Highly Engaging and serves the purpose that is entertainment.
SPOILER: All the A-list Korean actors, but sadly wasted by a ridiculous screenplay. Americans were again played the role with no conscience and blind justice. South Koreans had kao-tau to the Americans, covered up the horrible serial killer from the North Korea. And North Koreans also got no conscience and turned a blind eye to the serial crimes as long as the guy's father was still in power. South Korean Police high ranking officers got no conscience either, so the real detective who did the right thing was wasted for nothing to gain. The whole movie is a much ado about nothing circle, just telling a ridiculous story, but there's one thing to learn from this film, especially to our men, you and me:
Never insult another guy's impotency publicly, if you do, you might pay a very high price later.

V. I. P. Is a decent action-crime film, but it suffers from a confusing structure and superficial character development.
The story is intriguing and has great potential, but unfortunately, the unclear motivations and relationships of the characters (especially the North Korean and South Korean agents) make it hard to connect emotionally.
Additionally, the slow pace and ambiguity in the first half create a jarring contrast with the relentless, fast-paced action of the second half.
Lee Jong-suk's performance as a cold, dangerous psychopath is truly commendable and the film's highlight.
Overall, despite its fresh premise and strong performances, the film fails to reach its full potential due to weak narrative direction and a rushed screenplay.
