The North Korea Terrorist has sent a girl spy who can shoot with high accuracy. With the death of important scientiests. The South Korean Intelligent are trying to find the killer, where they have her face and alias name. It doesn't look good has time goes on, because they acquire CTX, a deadly liquor bomb with huge power. Can the 2 best Agent stop them?
My Thoughts on the Movie
The movie start off with a bang, with some insane North Korean training. The visual was nice and the technique the Director used was fantastic to watch. The movie is not that creative but the movie was still entertaining and suspenseful. I wouldn't say the movie twist was that surprising because i knew it before they reveal it. I would said the ending is pretty sad, but there were some films (old hong kong ones) that is similar to that kind of situation but this movie they handle it better. The thriller was great and some idea are neat, like who is the mole. The film had high production value but there were a few flawed in the movie. The biggest one is that they didn't really mention what happen after the CTX explode off a building. Wouldn't they cancel the game after such a big bombing attack? The second is, if the bad guy are not working for the government how can they fiances the training??
Okay probably the next thing that I don't like about this action film is how there soo many cops trying to kill a few people and they aren't able to. I wouldn't say the shooting was too unrealistic compare to some HK films. But man it was like the cops are trying to miss them.
note
Another thing is, similar to his recent Korean War movie, the director tend to shake the camera too much. Causing a bit of a strain and unfocus during the shooting. Overall the movie was enjoyable but will not be one of the great movie that i will remember like Tak Gae Gi (Same Director).
- Was the highest grossing film at that time.
