So for me, definitely thumbs up! Kang-ho Song is always a guarantee of a quality and expensive movie, but rarely his movies rely on action, which doesn't matter, the guy entertains me! What's it all about? The protagonist is a former gangster who wants to quit his life of crime and wants to follow his dream and open a restaurant, he enrolls in a cooking class where he instantly falls for the innocent, sweet and young babe who is a top shooter assassin having the sole task of disarming a target. What looks like romance at first turns into a fight for his life. The atmosphere of the film is awesome, the visuals are breathtaking, the cinematography is as great as can be, the action is fast-paced, but it's properly hard-hitting and has pizzazz, and the hotel scene is the absolute highlight of the film. 80%

The excellent cast is unfortunately undermined by the script. After a confusing beginning comes a rather dull middle and only the end can save it. Nor did the relationship of the main couple really fire me up, apart from that beautiful final scene. That was very good and original. I liked the music and the atmosphere during the cooking... but an above-average film simply looks different. A weaker 3 stars.
