      Mark Jenkins Washington Post Director Won Sin-yeon skillfully emulates the you-are-there-but-where-the-heck-is-that? style of the "Bourne" movies. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Tom Keogh Seattle Times It's only January, yet perhaps not too soon to call "The Suspect" one of the best popcorn movies of the year. Rated: 3/4 Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer It's grown-up, deadly serious, and free of the ham-handed romantic subplots that mire so many films from the region in ick stew. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Andrew Heskins easternKicks.com An utterly ridiculous and over-the-top action movie from director Won Shin-yeon (Seven Days, A Bloody Aria), but at least it knows what it is... Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Michael Nordine L.A. Weekly Witnessing this play out is more exhausting than exciting. Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Daniel Eagan Film Journal International Handsomely mounted, the movie looks just like other big-budget blockbusters at first. But it doesn't take long to realize that The Suspect is imitation entertainment. Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

      Dick C Im Sang-yoon writes a good script... Won Shin-yun directs great for this motion picture, The Suspect, 2013... Gong Yoo portrays fairly good and Park Hee-soon also does his acting job... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/22 Full Review Audience Member Great story. Awesome action scenes Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The best Korean movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm surprised that most critics ratings were higher than the general film-goer's, but I did enjoy it for what it was - an anti(?) hero out for a bloody payback and -surprisingly, perhaps the most frantic car chase scenes (two of them) that I've ever seen in a Korean crime film ....It felt like some movie company was out to break the bank with dozens of car wrecks (and why all those sleek -looking German VWs when Kias or Hyundais would have been enough?...I've noticed that while many Korean films are on the violent side, some do show a lot of sentimentality when it comes to "family values"...That was also embedded in this film (in a positive way).... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A very well made movie, if a bit convoluted and long in the tooth. The action and fight sequences are good, but shot with far too much shaky camera technique, which limits the effectiveness and enjoyability of the sequences. The ending was predictable, but rounded out the movie well. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Korean action movies are the real reason for having netflix Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
