User Reviews

Korean melodrama and action hybrid

Take the writer from My Sassy Girl and the director from Infernal Affairs, mix it up with three of Korea's finest actors, film on location in Holland and the result is unfortunately not the work of art that I was anticipating....

Oh well at least the cinematography was lush, showing Amsterdam's more scenic side.

******************************************************** Spoilers below ********************************************************************

Our hero is the hit-man always dressed in black and who nails bad-boys for a living. In between off-ing punks, he relaxes by appreciating nature, listening to classical music and people watching. After becoming enamoured by our heroine, he subsequently woos her from afar by building her bridges and sending her flowers (without a card).

Our villain is the nasty cop, dressed in a dull grey suit, who moves in on our hero's girl and claims credit for the flowers, bridge, anything he can get away with!

The girl is almost eye candy, and hardly speaks throughout the whole film.

Positives - Cinematography, some melodrama, some action

Negatives - Cliché, waste of acting talent

Overall - Letdown
