Making a movie like this should be considered a crime because it steals our valuable time for nothing. I hope you find this review before you watch this movie so that you do not waste 2 hours of your valuable time.
This movie has everything that a bad movie should have: The storyline is totally absurd and lack realism; the characters are the embodiment of every cliché you've seen in the movie; actions are laughable; and the shooting and editing are extremely poorly done. I would not be surprised if this movie gets the "Worst Movie of the Year" award. I would rate "The Swamp Thing" higher than this one.
First of all, the story is less believable than "Johnny English" (by Mr. Bean). You may think I am joking, but I am not. Korean spies engage in a machine gun shootout with Chinese police and kill dozens of them in the middle of a city, and they attack the Japanese embassy even without covering their face and identity. Basically, they declared a war against China and Japan, but apparently, China and Japan don't say a word about. And, those who caused the mayhem are supposed to be patriots. The writer and the director of this movie have the mental ability of a 3rd grader (because I knew better when I was a 4th grader).
The common sense is missing from not only the major plot but also almost every single scene. Just take the scene in which the team leader of the Korean black ops sets up the protagonist (the prosecutor sent from Korea) with a hooker and drug, and it was supposed to be a practical joke. Using drug is punishable by death in China. What a wonderful joke! How about the woman with him? She will be executed!
The editing of this movie is completely amateurish. The scenes jump from one to another abruptly, and some action scenes are cut off in the middle of action (most likely because the scenes were poorly shot, and they didn't have usable clips). The story itself was nonsensical, but this poor editing made it even more painful to watch it.
The acting is also terrible. I cannot fault the actors because I guess Anthony Hopkins and Jack Nicolson couldn't have acted better if they act using such badly written scripts.
Korean movies have come a long way, and Koreans are making some great movies and dramas. But movies like this garbage undermine the effort of other great Korean movie makers. If you are the producers of this movie, please stop making movies so that you don't drag down other great movie makers.
