This movie features an interesting mix of Korean and Non-Korean. It's the first Korean movie I've watched where they employed real foreigners to fill the roles of the Americans. I didn't need to use my imagination to believe they were bi-lingual, so I didn't spend most of the time trying to ignore that fact, I could just enjoy the dialog. The action was great, and I found the fight scenes to be delightfully bloody, minus the gore. One issue I had was that many scenes were so dark I was unable to make out the actors or action. While that is a good trick in some situations, I felt it happened too often in this movie and I wish I could have had a better view of the scene. I liked the internal struggle the characters went through. It was believable that they would have made the choices they did as a result of their situations. Although you had to kind of accept that the main character was so talented that he could slip in and out of just about any place completely undetected, it was fun seeing an older actor tackle the action and physicality of the role admirably. Take that young boys! I would probably watch this movie again, although not for a while. I don't feel as if I'd missed anything in the plot, it was easy to follow. Watch No Tears For The Dead if you like realistic interpretations of grief, a smooth mixture of different ethnic backgrounds that is easy to follow, and older actors who hand down a convincing thug with grace.
