Sometime in the near future, the Korean peninsula attempts to reunify. The South Korean government, which needs enormous funds for the unification to succeed, develops a landmark new technology called the TWR. The TWR is a high speed nuclear reactor and other countries want the technology. To prevent terror in the aftermath of the TWR breakthrough, the government establishes a new organization named NTS (National Anti-Terror Service). Jung-Woo (Jung Woo-Sung) is transferred to the NTS group from the NIS. He's excited about the transfer and hopes to live the life of a real agent, but then discovers his main responsibility is to watch North Korean defectors.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs the narrative around a familiar geopolitical thriller framework, using large-scale action set pieces as its primary engine. The film works with the duality of its protagonist's duty versus his ambition, though it often relies on genre conventions over narrative surprise.

What lingers after the credits is the sensation of a competently assembled, visually striking spectacle that prioritizes adrenaline over ambiguity. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Kim Young-jun
