Sure, the premise of protecting a released murderer sounds like a recipe for chaos, and it is! The tension is palpable, and while the performances are solid—especially from Baek Joong Sik—the film sometimes feels bogged down by its own weighty themes. You might find yourself questioning the choices of the characters, which is great, but it can also leave you a bit exhausted. Overall, it’s a decent watch, but prepare for some heavy lifting in terms of emotional engagement. Show less
