The earthy introduction to the hunt for North Korean agents suggests a slightly different film than the one that turns out to be. This is a light buddy movie genre, which is saved mainly by the fact that the tension between the central duo thanks to not that frequently seen dynamics " know who you are, but you don't know who I am" works first class. It´s well-paced, packed with action, a little bit average plot and a weak ending, which lapses almost into Woo's Killer. There are tons of purely boyish tears of blood friendship; but all this is done without thousands of bullets and white doves. (28.01.2018)

When it comes to expressing male rivalry and (un)friendship, director Hoon Jang is simply the best at it. Not only does he provide a lot of really good action scenes, he hasn't forgotten a human touch. The cast is perfect. Only "Shadow" could have easily been on the set a little longer, because I enjoyed his charisma and coldness. It’s not up to the standard of Rough Cut, but it still had that "WOW" effect on me. A strong 4 stars. (08.12.2013)
