David Parkinson Empire Magazine There's an exuberant, (post)modernity about the visuals -- the camera is never still and Lee's choice of angle is often inspired. Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2001 Full Review Michael Thomson BBC.com A skinny little mediocrity of a film, all dressed up with no place to go, except towards more violence. Rated: 2/5 Jun 27, 2001 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle This is flash in the service of nothing, the proverbial sow's ear doing an indifferent imitation of a silk purse. Rated: 2/4 Feb 21, 2001 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis HanCinema f you want to see a different Korean crime thriller, look no further, "Nowhere To Hide" is one of the best in the category. Apr 21, 2019 Full Review Joe Lozito Big Picture Big Sound Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 27, 2007 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Myung-se usa o seu fiapo de roteiro para nos lembrar da velha mxima de que Cinema , de fato, Imagem; e o resultado um filme que contrasta os personagens falhos e incompetentes a um incrvel virtuosismo visual e trilha surpreendente.

Audience Member The best Korean movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Very funny. Pokes fun at itself. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Moderately enjoyable but too much visual styling for my liking. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A gritty and tedious with an over usage of editing styles and transitions. When fists are flying or people are chasing each other its mildly amusing, but this is not one of the better Korean films out there. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member It's absolutely chaotic to look at with visual tricks and flashy camerawork accompanying the hard-hitting, brutal, but relatively bloodless, action and fights. It's a unique little Korean action-thriller but the plot is lacking and the cops are even more brutal than the drug-dealers they're at war with, so they don't come across as very likeable. It's fun and unique though and worth a look if you like far-eastern cinema. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Comes out of left field and leaves you feeling great.
