I don't understand why Won Bin isn't a bigger star...unbelievable action, like Jason Statham on steroids, and he could also act, as much as was required of him. Great story and satisfyingly violent, if that makes sense. And I wish they'd let you do 4.5 stars.

Came earlier than expected in the mail! This is a really great movie for a great low price! I love Korean thrillers! They really know to make suspenseful movies.

There are several other movies in this genre that are masterful in plot, action and story line and this is one of them. This great piece of work is about pawn shop owner Tae-shik (Won Bin), who is befriended by a young girl So-mi (Kim Sae-Ron), whose mother is a dancer and drug user. Because of the young girl's mothers' habits, she is always on the street and in and out of trouble. The girls mother steals from a dangerous drug dealer and puts their lives in danger. Without giving too much away; the drug dealer finds the mother, the young girl is kidnapped and taken to a place where children are used for labor, criminal activity and organ donations. And because of Tae-shik's friendship with the young girl; he makes it his mission to find her. But it won't be easy; he's up against the police, the drug ring and a crazy assassin and his dark and mysterious past is catching up to him. You learn a lot about Tae-shik, and come to understand him as his life unfolds. Very emotional. I enjoyed this movie to the max. It's smart, gritty, a real thriller with lots of action, bad ass fights, twists and turns. Very emotional and a pleasure to watch. You will love watching this movie and adding it to your collection. Enjoy.Read full review
It's a great martial arts movie with one of the best knife-fighting scenes I have ever seen.
