 Yoichi SAI :


JUNG Tae-soo is a caretaker called Soo who kidnaps the executive KIM Jin-man and forces him to sign the document, and turns the whole area upside down. A cop who has been after him is crushed by a running truck and KIM Jin-man is dragged along by the car door. And this is only a beginning of his cruelty. The reunion with his brother in 19 years is ruined by a gun shot which hits his brother the moment their eyes meet. Witnessing the death of his brother, he turns the movie to a rhapsody of vengeance. He pretends to his brother who used to be a cop looking for KOO Yang-won. What is impressive in the film is the action itself. Instead of telling the background story of the twin brothers or observing inner psychological state, the film remains on the level of constant actions carried out by Soo to revenge his brother¡¯s death and the image of blood splashing violence accentuate the action.
