Director Won Sin-yeon skillfully emulates the you-are-there-but-where-the-heck-is-that? style of the "Bourne" movies. Go to Full Review Tom Keogh Seattle Times 12/17/2015

It's only January, yet perhaps not too soon to call "The Suspect" one of the best popcorn movies of the year. Go to Full Review Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer 12/17/2015
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Andrew Heskins easternKicks.com 09/24/2020
3.5/5
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... Go to Full Review Michael Nordine L.A. Weekly 12/17/2015

Calvin O @Caltus Aug 10 What this movie is, is a compact version of other modern Hollywood action movies. And that isn't necessary a good thing. I could tell they were aiming to make a great action movie and I really could see the effort, especially when it comes to the cinematography. Even if the camera work is all over the place, especially during the action sequences. The thing is, if you are a audience member that is already in tune with most Hollywood action movies will see a lot of similar bits in this one. Especially the "Bourne" movies which I actually saw quite a bit of similarities from. Yeah, some of the action set pieces was cool to watch, but nothing really new and it has been done before. Even the character interaction and acting does come off a bit pretentious and over the top. See more Kairy L Mar 25 The Suspect is more or less your typical action film. Though Gong Yoo does his best to captivate the viewer with his performance. The story is relatively lack luster and predictable. A one off watch, but not one I'd rewatch.
