    Totally unexpected

    Just when you think you've got the story figured out, everything flips and those who, till then displayed the most innocence and integrity become the driving narrative - the evil. Meanwhile, the overtly self-serving character shines with a good albeit misguided heart in the end. Incidentally, this was the first pairing of Park Seo-joon and Son Hyeon-ju; they would team up later in Itaewon Class as father and son, reprising the flavour of the relationship they seemed to have in this film.

    A familiar story, well told

    Another fun Korean cop thriller in which a corrupt cop finds himself caught in a devious, ever-tightening trap. There are stylistic similarities to genre classics like A HARD DAY and that '80s classic NO WAY OUT, but this one manages to plough its own furrow. The film benefits from the usual high quality production values we associate with Korean cinema, and delivers plenty of narrative in the running time. The protagonist is realistic rather than sympathetic, although you do get a winning turn from Ma Dong-seok, on the cusp of super stardom. Despite the familiarity of the story there's some good tension here and a twist ending that genuinely surprises.

    Nice suspense film.

    This one is good movie with great suspense till ending. You would never expect the twist till the moment. Leading actor and ma dong seok done great job. Moreover script writing is top notch. Just watch it.

    Well made mystery thriller ...

    The story revolves around the cop who killed a unknown man for self-defense during a murder attempt, trying to connect the mystery behind the murder attempt . The performances of lead actors are fine. The biggest strengths of the movie are well crafted screenplay and unexpected twist in climax. The way they solving the mystery behind the series of events is very impressive. The emotional connect shown in climax of the movie is worked really well

    Good thriller.. worth it

    Must be airing in Netflix. This Original better than remake. Solid script. See other side of Park Seo Joon... his acting. Hyun Joo and Ma Dong Seok too ... Captain Choi: It's easy to be kind, but hart to be fair...
