Review of Shiri

Shiri (1999)
7/10
A milestone for Korean cinema
2 February 2020
This is an exciting and groundbreaking action movie for Korea. The story is involving and quite well written. The direction is flawed in parts. The camera work is a bit jerky and nauseating at times and the action sequences are too crowded. Sometimes can't follow what is going on. The good points of this spy story outweigh the bad. Some of the cast have gone on to world wide fame. Yunjin Kim shows her star power in a great performance. It's good to see the early work of Song of Parasite. Worth a watch to see the start of big Budget Korean cinema.
