About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark Korean action thriller that mixes remorseful drama with bursts of brutal shootouts and fights; Not for you if you dislike gore, slower first halves, or melodrama, and it may remind you of A Company Man.
Pros: brutal, thrilling action; strong guilt-driven drama; tense cat-and-mouse stakes | Cons: uneven pacing; heavy-handed sentiment; plot feels generic
