Why watch this film?
This South Korean production has been praised by local critics, especially for having a woman as a co-protagonist in an action thriller. With good sequences and an exquisite quality, it is certainly another face in the expansion of Korean dramaturgy. There are also elements from dramas, with typical melodramatic turns of that type of production. In other words, a movie that should please action fans more accustomed to the way of South Korea when telling stories.
