Every potential source for good popcorn entertainment is thrice warmed-over, and poorly executed.

Rated: 1/4

Houston Chronicle

The film - while well-made and intermittently entertaining - isn't particularly distinctive beyond its casting.

Rated: 2.5/5

You may tire of the onion-peeling by the time it's all laid bare, but for fans of the buffet-style of crime capers it's a slick diversion, engagingly assembled and acted.

A flimsy crime thriller whose every turn feels phony.

A well made, well paced movie that fits right in in the solid tradition of Korean action/thriller films. Entertaining, never boring, good acting, and actually keeps you guessing until the very end.
