À propos de ce film

Gun-woo (Gang Dong-won) is an honest and hardworking courier who even won a Model Citizen Award for saving a singer from a robbery incident. Out of the blue, his old friend Moo-yeol comes to visit him at work. With just a short moment to enjoy the pleasant surprise, Gun-woo witnesses a bombing incident that kills a presidential candidate right before his eyes. Moo-yeol tells Gun-woo that he is responsible for the bombing and that everyone will come after him as it is the agency’s plan to make him the prime suspect. Gun-woo manages to flee from the scene but all evidence, including security camera footages, witness testimonies and fingerprints point toward him as the suspect. He meets former secret agent Mr. Min (Kim Eui-sung), who is an old friend of Moo-yeol and he helps out clear his name. Gun-woo must fight with all his strength to stay alive. However, as he tries to run away, everyone around him is put into dangerous situations, including old friends Dong-kyu (Kim Dae-myeung), Geum-chul (Kim Sung-kyun) and Sun-young (Han Hyo-joo).

Notes et avis

I liked the film but I had a few problems with its clarity at times, or lack of it. Not everything was clear and so on occasion I had to stop and rewind in order to understand what was happening. In particular, an early scene with his ex-bandmate in his truck and what followed was especially perplexing at first. There were a few other things that strained credulity and so I really wanted to give it 3.5 stars, but it was either 3 or 4...and so I was generous in giving it 4. It is an enjoyable film but it could have been excellent had they worked out everything I had issues with. The best movies pay attention to all the details, which is what makes them "best". Still, its worth 110minutes of your time.
