Un unexpectedly rich exploration of broader political ills that the rise of modern mercenaries portend

OK, the plot itself is not that great. But this is a decent action/thriller movie worth watching. Apart from the first 20 minutes there's literally no time to catch a breath. Something happens all the time: betrayal, new obstacles to overcome, new enemies to fight, new conditions, new acquired & old friends to protect, etc. If you're a fan of action & thriller genre, I'd say don't miss this movie. The story here is just to torture the main characters even more... I's a classy movie in it's own way. 7/10

Video game to movie feel. Political view between Korea, china, US I enjoyed the movie.

Previously read a little synopsis. just watch >30mnt. u will know what i fell!.... good movie for action and thiller..

The set up is ludicrous, but the action is terrific. mercenaries kidnap the leader of north korea and trouble ensures. lots of action.

Koreans' infatuation with all things American reminds me of the same phenomenon among Europeans during the past 20 years. And now there's a McDonalds everywhere, everything is english and every city looks the same. Don't make the same mistake Korea. Stick to your own style. This movie is pure wannbe Hollywood trash with corny dialogue that has infantile American political messages shoehorned into it in a ridiculously stupid way. Don't waste your time, STAY AWAY!

I get it that Byung-woo Kim is a newbie writer and director, but this film has to be the worst camera work I have ever seen. Was a 95 year old with arthritis holding on to the camera? A 5 year old could've done a better job with a 1990's camcorder. I got dizzy and a migraine watching this film. And then the ridiculous 2+ hours of dragged out and pointless scenes, that even with the decent pacing, felt like 3 hours. This story should have been a maximum of 20-30 mins. The dumb cliched scenes of drinking and constant smoking to look cool - during a mission. A 5th grader could've written a better screenplay. The story adapted from the novel by Sang-yeon Park was great, but sadly, it was poorly executed by the director with its many plot and technical issues. Most of the dialogue was idiotic and illegible, especially from Jung-woo Ha. His English is terrible and I'd rather he spoke Korean with sub-titles throughout the entire film. None of the actors were convincing in their roles, except for maybe Agent Mackenzie and Dr. Yoon. The only thing this film had going for it were the hi-tech sets, S/VFX, the constant action (of which most of it was was captured poorly by the director) and the (finally watchable and entertaining) last 10 minutes of the film. So it's a generous 5/10 from me.
