i pick up this movie channel surf the other night and expect it to last until 2am . much to my personal regret and it go past 3am and and i want my time back . i catch it from around the beginning and think it be a japanese movie somehow on the foreign movie channel japanese actor and japanese dialog ( even though the lead still have a bit of an accent ) . watch this movie a someone who live in tokyo and it be interest visually to see the korean take on a japanese city and japanese police ( the jbi get ta love it ) . i really love the visual style of korean movie and video and and have enjoy more than a few korean movie ( and i have to say and japan produce a fair too many clunker movie and korea have a good strike rate ) . i will give the movie credit for be intriguing ( you get hook in wonder what be this ) and even give an interesting story . set aside wet my pant at the japanese stereotype that come through ( nationalistic and cold and emotionless and particularly enjoy his partner wear kimono on his time off and have a huge house with a rock garden and and a subservient wife who bow and doesn not talk back oh i wish . ) and i be rather look forward to the stylize action sequence . this be where i be let down . now pardon me if i be wrong and but mr. hero be stand here in front of 6 masked bad guy let off a hail of uzi fire and yet he seem to find 5 minute to drop his gun and tearfully look at child or friend or love one fall over in slow motion a violin music cut in over the background . honestly and can one person here who like this movie honestly say they actually forget that the guy be surround by guy with machine gun and be pull into any kind of emotion by the violin music . the nationalism bug me ( just a it would for a japanese movie ) but i know this be the korean style and so it do not bother me too much . but honestly and unless you be a hardcore fan of korean cinema style and i wouldn not bother with this there be much good examples out there .
