Such a fun ride

Fast-paced and extremely entertaining, and that's the main thing. It's a very well-executed thriller that's consistently engaging and easy to watch, while never feeling like the kind of mindless entertainment you might feel guilty for enjoying.Besides the ride it offers, there might not be much else to it, but that doesn't matter too much when it's this fun. Other complaints are minor- there's a very unconvincing explosion in the film's second half, and the plot might get potentially too silly and far fetched for some viewers.It never fully jumped the shark for me, though. Yes, I could recognise the final showdown in the climax was really over the top, but it was also incredibly visceral and entertaining, much like the film as a whole.South Korea has put out some really good action-crime-thrillers in the past decade or two, and this is among them. Pretty easy to recommend.

what a movie

I love 'domino tiles' movies when one mistake leads to a bigger one and the main character tries to get hold of the situation but he just worsens it and continues making even bigger and graver mistakes. This movie is pretty much like that. The main guy didn't want to face the consequences of his fault so everything goes downhill. There were very unexpected turns and scenes where you would have thought, I know what happens next but then something very different occurred. It's a very entertaining movie, worth watching.

Skeptical At First, But Wow.

I was ready to give up after the first 10-minutes, but I'm glad I ignored myself. Easily in my Top 10 Korean films ever.
