What are critics saying?

Washington Post by

Director Won Sin-yeon skillfully emulates the you-are-there-but-where-the-heck-is-that? style of the “Bourne” movies.

The New York Times by Andy Webster

At 137 minutes, the film overstays its welcome with multiple concluding flourishes (and exceeds the sentiment threshold).

The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck

Director Won Shin-yun delivers a seemingly non-stop series of exciting set pieces that are only slightly marred by occasional visual incoherence.

Los Angeles Times by Inkoo Kang

The two stunning set pieces, both involving car chases, are so inspired and teeth-grittingly determined that they make the case for the possibility of individual heroism in a harrowingly venal world.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Tirdad Derakhshani

It's grown-up, deadly serious, and free of the ham-handed romantic subplots that mire so many films from the region in ick stew.
