Wasn't sure how this would end the whole time. The fact that it is true history in this day and time, makes it ever so relevant and thought provoking! So well acted, "The Spy" himself deserves at least an Oscar nod!!!

The film succeeds at being both exciting and character-driven, but only after a confused first half that will leave international viewers frustrated over who’s who and what’s going on.

Entertaining and exasperating in equal measure, it’s a nine-dimensional chess game in which the pawns think they’re working towards a better future, but the powers controlling them are only determined to maintain the status quo.

Yoon executes all the classic double-agent set pieces with finesse, and those enamoured of the genre will appreciate a change of setting.
