The movie was fun to watch, seeing how a diplomat got embroiled into saving one of his own, with beutiful scenarios and a duo that made for the formulaic passing as to how everyone end up saving each other in the process, was most of the take away for the movie rather than the premise of it. Even though it had different moments that interpreted tension and action here and there, the use of what could be intriguing and interesting was nothing to write home about when you get used to this types of dramatic interpretations by knowing how things will unfold. Making one wonder how different and more dangerous these types of real situations are really done. Ending up feel more like a popcorn watch rather than an impacting experience, but still a great watch.

This movie was a lot of fun and im very glad i took the chance to see it. As always I likely missed some cultural hints and elements, but i seemed to have all the same reactions as the people in the audience who spoke Korean so that's reassuring. I began the film unsure if I would enjoy the characters, but by the end I had come to love and appreciate them. There was constant action and beautiful cinematography, and I continuously found myself shocked by just how far into the movie we'd gotten. it didn't feel like 2 hours at all, and as we got closer to the end I frequently got worried that it was about to end on a sad note, or that it'd end in something inconclusive. But the ending was brilliant just as the rest of the film was, and i enjoyed this experience very much.

It falls to "Min-joon" (Ha Jung-woo) to travel there and execute quite a complex plan to extricate their citizen and stay one step ahead of the warlords and the authorities who all w More
