I love thrillers and this is one of the best. If you love to watch thrillers based on murder cases in trial, you will love this. The movie starts with the murder and the police catch the husband of the victim as the killer. They don't, however, have the body, and she is suspected to being killed. A young precipitous lawyer takes the case in favor of the killer. The move rolls through court room and internecine fight between rival lawyers. However, they missed some important issues in the case. One, what happened to the CCTV video? Two, why the prosecution didn't pursue other possible killers? Three, some scenes didn't sync well like the arrest in the highway. Nevertheless, the climax has an anti-climax and that makes you thrilled. Besides, the final comment by the rival lawyer was superb: "He didn't look back!" One could even make a Sherlock Holmes logical reasoning based on that. In short, if you are into thriller and mystery movies, please watch this.

The movie has its moments, driving the story together. It's a good balance of drama and thriller, keeps you into glue. What worked:

• story
• lead actors

What didn't work:

• some might find it more of a drama rather than a thriller
• pretty pretentious at times how it is going to end

Final verdict: It's a one time watch. Must say there are better thrillers from S Korea.

Ok, so I'd have rated this movie lower but it really picked up after the mid part. It's intriguing, well-acted and simply engaging. My biggest complaint is the fate and substance of the CCTV footage- we saw a bit and it figures why they're hiding it, but overall I didn't understand if it did capture the killer or not. Why couldn't the defense demand it? It was not listed as evidence but there were witnesses who informally testified detective Lee demanded it. He was not going to be allowed as a witness but there were others who could testify and cast doubt on the prosecution. I still can't say I know exactly what was on the footage except for the little we were shown where we find out why it was hidden. It was made confusing and should have been clarified better. Moreover the entire timeline of the murder was confusing too. I couldn't say how things unfolded with any precision. I have to rewatch to see if I missed something. Jang Hyuk hairstyle is way too hip for someone in prison. Other than that, enjoyed both the acting and the intrigue. Solid movie out of south Korea!

One of the must-watch Korean movies, the story and plot are enigmatic and full of question marks.

Contains a plot twist where the audience is invited to guess who is right! Extraordinary!

this movie has like one of my 3 favorite male actors in it and that was one of the main reasons i watched it. my 3 favorite male actors at this time are Mads Mikkelsen, Mark Strong and Jung Woo Ha, and i would literally watch any movie that they are in because in my opinion these 3 guys haven't been in a bad movie yet. Jung plays a famous defense attorney in this movie and he has to defend a man who everybody else believes and says is the culprit but he feels otherwise. Very intriguing movie, not the best courtroom drama ever but definitely a first option movie. Jung like the other 2 favorite actors of mine that i mentioned earlier just has something about him that makes him very watchable and mesmerizing as a actor. the best actors and the ones that will eventually win major awards are not the super good looking guys but the guy that will catch your eye because he can flat out act. the story was really tight, production values were very high, there were no bad acting, finally a film from south Korea that wasn't over saturated in color(getting really sick of that) and you have the great(yes!i'm calling him great already) Jung Woo Ha anchoring one of the main leads and you're in for a blisteringly good time. bust out the popcorn and candy and be prepared to get engrossed in a very good movie.enjoy! can't believe there is only one other reviewer before me and can't believe so many people miss out on a very very good movie.
