Seoul under curfew is quite an attractive city. Classily shot, acting felt as bespoke as those suits & the matter of fact retelling of this particular assassination hit the right note. The constant representation of the bumbling police/ military was subtle yet plentiful enough to get the filmmakers perspective across tastefully.

Gives quite an interesting insight into a part of South Korea's history of which I knew nothing about. The way this story is portrayed may be up for discussion, but it's quite intriguing nonetheless.

This film is pitch-pefect. The ridiculousness of it all is bewildering. Very interesting and well made. Great acting all around.

Funny and beautifully shot, the acting is good as well. Unfortunately the film seems shallow without the context surrounding it, the film doeas allude to this subtely but I had to go home and do some research after the film (which the film literally encourages).
