I'm satisfied. Jung Woo-Sung is for me the second biggest South Korean star after Lee Byung-Hun, so I'm curious about every new film of his, and this political-warfare spree suited me. Admittedly, it's a mess at times to figure out who is who in the characters, but I'm more concerned with the action and I'm happy with that. It's bloody, the gunfights are gritty, and there's the typically dynamic Korean fighting style, so I can't complain too much. The scene with the mass destruction of civilians especially young girls was very rough but at the same time awesome. A good movie that didn’t bore me. 70% (31.03.2018)

Far from perfect, far from believable, but it was still nice to daydream and I cried like a baby towards the end. I'm not that into the political setting, but in this case I was quite entertained. Though it's true, as others have mentioned, that the story required a lot of concentration at the beginning to get one's bearings. Woo-seong Jeong fit the role (pretty much like always) and his acting and action performances were the highlight of the whole film for me. So I’m throwing in a star for his involvement. (10.08.2022)
