paulclaassen Sae-ron Kim is not only precious, but also brilliant in her role, as is Bin Won as the ex-black operations soldier/pawnshop keeper. The film so effectively depicts the lengths criminals will go to for money it makes one shudder to think this actually does happen in real life. Filled with so much feeling and emotion, this action -packed thriller was a delight to watch - and what a beautiful ending!

caseyzhang All the characters were written in a very basic manner - no one stops to make logical decisions. People on similar sides of the conflict don't communicate, which may make the movie more dramatic, but instead l was left bewildered at why people were doing what they were doing.On the plus side, the acting was really good - especially the daughter So Mi and the main character.

instantlove It's been years since my initial watching and I can still say that every viewing feels like the first, and that's primarily due to the fact that; the characters are perfectly written, the action sequences are amazing executed, and the cinematography is immaculately directed. It's honestly the biggest shame that Won Bin is inactive as an actor, considering the fact that his performance in this film rivals some of his highly praised, acting-focused, celebrity peers. (Such as Lee Byunghun, particularly his performance in another excellent revenge-film called I Saw the Devil).

muvi-fan-73 There are many action movies with action star and his friend who goes missing. Our hero in turn goes as one man army for the rescue of the friendly counterpart. Well the movies come to our mind are Leon, Man on fire and Taken.This movie however impresses me the most. The reason is its cinematography and emotional take in its execution. Also unlike many action movies the action does not seem unreal.Many reviewers were unhappy about the plot being complex. According to me this may be because movie is Korean. My view is it's not at all compound, just that the language is something that we are not use to.Remake 'Rocky Handsome' of this movie in Bollywood nowhere stands near original.
