🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Hard, smart thriller without decoration. The director wields pauses and information like weapons. The viewer is not allowed to relax.

Several script turns genuinely surprise, and that's worth something. The final act rushes slightly, but the overall level is high. A film worth discussing afterward.

Works for smart genre film fans. Expecting an action thriller — not this.

Director: Kim Sung-soo
