• Excellent Movie!

  adobepro2018-08-05

  Just saw it on Netflix, really good movie, everything was done well, script, acting, effects, locations, direction and cinematography. 10/10. Please keep making more motion pictures like this! If you like this, you'd probably also like Bad Guys Vile City (over the top violence, but good story and acting) and Stranger (Secret Forest) on Netflix. The only issue I have is having to pause and go back sometimes to read the dialogue. Netflix only has Korean (of course) and Spanish SAP, no English.

• Thumbs Up

  I really enjoyed this film. The first five minutes looked cheesy and I had no idea what was going on. I almost quit the film but after reading other reviews I kept with it. I'm glad I did because suddenly a very good film appeared. Allow me to just explain the opening (no spoilers). A military coup happens in North Korea. The coup leaders fake an American attack from South Korea that kills many North Koreans. Meanwhile, at the same time, our north Korean hero saves Kim Jong-un and takes him to the South. Then the film starts to get good. He meets a South Korean hero and I'll stop there! What I liked about this film was, it's an interesting look at how all sides would act should a military coup happen in the north. Anyway, thumbs up

• Good and very relevant movie

  This movie is incredibly relevant these days because of the current tension between North Korea and the US, South Korea, and Japan. No doubt that is precisely why it was made too. The movie in my opinion is very good, with an underlying moral messages about peace for all Koreans. It shows problems with both sides. The main actors do a great job, and there is both drama and action here, both of which in my opinion are done well. Do yourself a favour and watch a movie that is not only entertaining (which this one most certainly is), but which also has a relevant and important message, for once.

• A real surprise find!

  We have become so used to the hegemony of Hollywood that it is easy to forget other countries can and do produce excellent movies. This South Korean film is superb in that it is has a topical credible plot that is executed well producing an intelligent political action thriller which touches of humanity and humour. Well worth watching and enjoying.
