Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film There are hints of a plot line, but everything is racing along at such a pace - only lit by the flash of muzzles - that it is difficult to spot it. Rated: 1/5 Jun 15, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A weird and complicated but interesting plot, but it's really, really boring. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Some editing could have helped the slow pacing on this middle of the road semi-cyberpunk movie out of Korea. Lost's Yunjin Kim stars, but can't really do much to make things interesting. There are some twists, but they take far longer for the script to explain than for the viewer to figure out, and when all is said and done, they aren't especially 'twisty.' Lots of action. Mostly in the form of S.W.A.T. type teams in large scale shootouts. But again, after the first few seconds, these become a bit dull. Overall, it's not a bad film. It's just not that good. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad of its sort compared to the stuff coming out these days. Futuristic without the Blade Runner visuals, combining a kidnapping, the motives behind serial killers, a series of murders targeting scientists, a secret government program, and a Special Investigations squad headed by Yun Seok. The highlight is a shootout in a ghetto area, where the SI and SWAT teams are under siege. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a Crime Thriller/Sci-Fi/Cyber Punk...enigma. It wasnt until well after the halfway point, that I had any clue of a plot. Honestly, it seemed like they had something good going on. Or at least tried. But...I dont know. I enjoyed Yun-jin Kim far more in Shiri, but i do understand her character. I think this movies saving grace for me, was the action sequences, and spots of great cinematography. The "swat/raid" choreography was well done. In terms of a 3 star rating. i was rather objective. I was forced to watch this Dubbed. As it was the only way Netflix offered it streaming to the XBOX. I am willing to give this movie a second chance in its Native Korean language. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Really weak. There are some interesting ideas, but not enough push for anything that'd get you to care about them. Some things were unexplained in the end. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A weird and complicated but interesting plot, but it's really, really boring.
