I mean the main antagonist is indeed a serial killer, so why not? It was more like a political drama with some action thriller. The cast was well-chosen and I have no complaints about their acting. I am still not sure what role the CIA plays in the movie. Why are they involved?
Lee Jong Suk's characters have surprisingly few lines throughout the film. I heard he is really shy in real life, but villainous characters really suit him, to be honest. Looking forward to seeing him playing more challenging characters in the future.
I would recommend this film if you prefer something dark and twisted. Happy watching.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Your choice. Take note that there are many morbid scenes.
REVIEW:
- The story was really interesting but there were parts that seemed too slow (scenes without action). By the second half of the movie, there were twist and turns happened made things a lot better.
- You would get really mad at most of the scenes but the ending was very good.
- There are so many morbid/brutal scenes. I almost stopped watching in the beginning because of it.
- Action scenes were really good and intense.
- I was shocked to see Peter Stormare (Lucifer from Constantine movie) here.
- I was really amazed at Lee Jong Suk here because he was so scary at some of the scenes. This is the first time I saw him as a villain and he did a great job especially since his previous characters were good guys.
- Jang Dong Gun and Kim Myung-min were amazing in their respective roles.

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
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.

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.
