When I was watching this movie I thought I might give it a 7 or 8 rating but towards the end more things gave me the idea some key elements did not fit well in this story.
Mostly because they're not explained and maybe even because of the different cultures and the way relations are portrayed in this movie.
What I really don't get is why the father and daughter got separated for 13 years,in the movie it's because of her illness but it is never explained if they still had contact or why they did not visit one another.
I think they decided it was for the grand finale shocker but because it's not very realistic it had the reverse effect on me.
Also the end being some what of a "seven" rip of did not help in this matter.
A lot of the explanations given come at the end and also don't hold much ground and raises even more of these questions.
It is some what sad because in the beginning it had a lot of potential but I think the writers got a little lost trying to connect all the dots and forgot about the details of the story.
Other things are overdone and you get way to many examples of the female cop trying to cope in a mostly male dominated police force.
One of the lesser movie from South Korea but still better than most of what Hollywood craps out these days.
I would not recommend it as a great thriller but it has enough action and drama to check it out some time.
It was an interesting idea but poorly executed.
