At a young age Jun gets recruited in a top secret training program and grows up to be the ultimate lethal weapon of the Korean government. Capable to solve two Sudoku’s – you know, expert level – and neutralize a dozen terrorists at the same time, this alpha male is the incarnation of quick and efficient justice. If it wouldn’t have been for Jun’s lifelong dream of becoming a comic book writer… His bosses aren’t exactly thrilled imagining their local Rambo drawing cartoons, so Jun fakes his own death. Fifteen years later and with a new identity, Jun is now a failed comic writer incapable of supporting his family, that doesn’t have a clue about his past. One night after one too many glasses of soju, Jun draws from his secret agent experience to write a new comic on the web. The good news: it’s an instant massive hit, finally! The bad news: with all these classified secrets out in the open, his old bosses can’t wait to pay him a little visit. Same goes for his arch enemy, whose face Jun back in the day unfortunately scorched while poking out one of his eyes… (Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival)

An action-packed ride from South Korea! The main character is a failed comic book writer, but one night he gets really drunk and writes a comic about his life as a professional hitman and accidentally gets it out into the world. Not only does he become famous, but gangsters and agents go after him at the same time. So the film is more light-hearted and there is no shortage of comedic elements, but they are excellent (the scene with the cell phone in the car made me laugh like nothing I've seen in a long time). The action is very good, especially the fights, some of the best South Korea has done in the last five years (the one in the toilet, the escape from the police station and the finale in the warehouse are awesome). The film has great pacing, lots of action, solid humor, fun characters, an iconic bad guy and an interesting story, what more could you ask for? If the film was more serious, we'd be talking about a potential cult classic, but it's still a blast. I roared, I laughed, and I was even moved a couple of times. Story****, Action*****, Humor****, Violence**, Entertainment****, Music****, Visuals****, Atmosphere***, Suspense****. 8/10.
