The plot isn't original, a damaged special agent trying to lead a quite life gets dragged into danger to protect a young girl, but it is done very well.
The pace is good, we have a nice mix of action and story at the start to make Cha Tae-sik's attachment to the girl believable, the action gets more involved and quicker as we progress.
The acting is good, Bin Won is convincing and for a change so are the villains, they aren't over the top comic book evil, they are just criminals, and the big surprise is that Sae-ron Kim manages to play the annoying child character without being annoying, an excellent performance from her.
The action sequences are well done, violent without being very gory, some elaborate martial arts and some simple brutality.
The ending is OK, it tries to hard to be emotional but at least it doesn't try to be clean and sanitised.
It reminded me most of the Bourne films and, although it is a lower grade than they are, you should still find a lot to enjoy here if you liked them.
