Rehan T @RT81460504 Jul 11 Move was actually really long. The first half of the movie is actually boring. It does get a bit interesting in the second half. The movie also doesn't mention the timeline... See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 2 2 1/3 hours based on a true story. In Korean and English versions with English subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being American, it was impossible for me to remember & recognize the many characters here. For such a long film, it surely went by quickly.

You'd think this would suck the tension out of this kind of movie, but it merely shifts the plot's focus to more interesting areas. See more Greg K @GregZ 06/11/2023 Huge and impressive setpieces that radiate a distinct atmosphere, lots of details, and some decent camera-work. Downside: All of the characters were either good or bad, but the whose-side-are-you-on theme worked nevetheless.

It doesn't appear especially violent (moreso than many other action films) in the first half of the film but there are torture related scenes in the 2nd half of it, which I found a bit hard to watch once or twice. Still, its a relatively atmospheric watch, with some good cinematography - I particularly liked the long scene set in a train, which adds a bit of a 'Murder on the Orient Express' feel to it. I thought the plot pace was good - at times its really quite fast paced and I was quite engrossed in it and at others it was more low key and I was left wondering when something might happen, what the next twist in the plot may be. As a spy film, its certainly good. There's a good use of music at times, not very often but when it does feature, it isn't over the top of distracting and the performances are decent too, so I'd recommend it.
