Born to Kill

an average sympathetic contract killer story - with moody 1-dimensional Jung Woo Sung bringing little beyond his pretty boy looks and chipmunk cheeks - the director must have told him in the beginning - "just act moody all thru this film"

the action is pretty mundane - but the romance added a little spice with pretty Shim Eun Ah playing an extremely forward barmaid with singing ambitions - she needs to be cuz our killer is - believe it or not - girl shy

the romance takes up most of the middle part of the film - with the so-called action taking up Parts 1 and 3

i must warn you about the Chinese DVD version I saw - distributed by Sky Entertainment - it has a terrible transfer - scenes in the dark were barely discernible - fortunately - those scenes were mostly in Part 1
