2.5/5
Humint is a slick Korean film that is all bangs no brain, caught between ambition and execution. Go to Full Review

3/5
Uneven but ultimately rewarding, this South Korean spy thriller takes a long time to become the movie it promises to be. Go to Full Review

7/10
Humint isn’t selling itself on its espionage, but it is ready to smash through the door and demand to be seen. Go to Full Review
Ruchika Bhat Digital Mafia Talkies Apr 5
2/4
For a film that’s purportedly about the main character taking down a drug ring (going by the Netflix blurb), you could spend an awful lot of time not really thinking about the drug ring. Go to Full Review
Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Apr 1
3.5/5
The simplest way of putting it is that Humint is a very good action movie and a ropey, superficial spy thriller, and the resultant cinematic chimera thus feels wedged a bit awkwardly between its two masters. Go to Full Review
James Marsh South China Morning Post Apr 1
3.5/5
Viewers with the patience to sit through a deliberately paced hour of shady encounters in dingy nightclubs and snow-driven back alleys will be richly rewarded by a second half showcasing some of the best heroic bloodshed in recent memory. Go to Full Review

Peter F @RT28007450 Jul 4 Almost unexpected on netflix to encounter a movie that is acutally good and all the departments therein know what they're doing. I liked this a lot: in some ways an oldschool spy movie, with the obligatory love story, but it's done damn well. Great acting, great dialogue, good writing and the cameraman deserves an award. A lot of human depravity, a lot of systemic cruelty and horror. In fact I liked that part even more than the action. While there's quite a bit of shooting, this is not your typical brainless shooter: you have real people with real goals and feelings here - so stuff gets weighty. A very good one.

I got so bored during the movie that i started playing a game on my iPad. Illogical sequencing with action scenes that were probably scripted by AI. Directing was poor. Don’t waste your time watching this. See more Aly G @Aly13G May 1 Great action stunts, but I cannot consider this my favorite action film since it lacks a compelling storyline. See more sar D @Safari178 Apr 11 Great action movie, another Ryoo Seung Wan masterpiece. Great acting . The action is outstanding , car races, gun fights, combats, ...A must see. See more Carlos T @RT67858720 Apr 11 A trama se desenrola em um território delicado: a interseção entre Rússia, Coreia do Norte e China, uma zona onde leis são frágeis e interesses obscuros dominam. Ali, o agente sul-coreano Zo opera com sua equipe em uma missão silenciosa e perigosa: infiltrar-se em uma rede internacional de tráfico humano. O alvo é um esquema cruel onde mulheres norte-coreanas são enganadas com promessas de uma vida melhor, apenas para serem levadas à Rússia e forçadas à prostituição. No centro dessa engrenagem está Hwang, um oficial norte-coreano frio e calculista, responsável por recrutar — ou capturar — essas mulheres e entregá-las ao mafioso russo Aleksei, que comanda o sistema com brutalidade e pragmatismo. É nesse cenário que surge Chae, uma dessas mulheres. Inicialmente vítima, ela encontra uma brecha para sobreviver: torna-se informante, trocando informações por uma promessa quase impossível — sair viva daquele inferno. 🎬 Nota final: 5,5 / 10 See more Chelsea N @Chelsea9 Apr 9 An interesting movie. I always look out for the action scenes and this movie delivered. It has a slow build up but makes up for it by the amazing action scenes and spectacular actors , particularly the 2 male leads and the female lead. Have to applaud the gun fights as well. I enjoyed it. See more Read all reviews
