Course contre la mort

"Come back when you are normal and good," says the love of his life. After ten years in prison, Su-hyuk is ready to be the person that she wants and to live a normal life. However, the bar that she set is a whole lot lower than the one set by his former employer. When Su-hyuk spurns their offer of a bag full of cash and a new BMW, they send assassins to take his life. Failing in this, the would-be assassins put pressure on his lover and daughter. This is not a good move for anyone involved.

Construction sites and high-rises on the outskirts of Seoul become the battlegrounds for Su-hyuk and his micromanaging and highly possessive bosses in this cathartic action thriller. Jung Woo-sung is both the director and lead actor. The action sequences are unique as well as exhilarating. Vehicles, for instance, are used not just for crash scenes, but to knock people over. A turbo charged BMW carries more of a punch than a fist or a foot! Seen at the Toronto International Film Festival.
