A South Korean action film 2013 which borrows heavily from the Bourne films. When a North Korean defector's, played by Gong Yoo, contact is murdered, all eyes obviously turn on him which prompts him to run avoiding the law, in the form of an old adversary who was scarred by him years before & a covert agency which committed the murder (& several more) are seeking secrets written on strips of embedded plastic on the contact's eyeglasses. Yoo enlists the help of an eager journalist/documentarian, played by Yoo Da-in, to clear his name but guns & bullets are the name of the game as Yoo tries to save the day. W/the by now rote scenes of a pursuant being tracked via CCTV in a room full of monitors & techies, this sometimes overly plotted affair may've worked if the action were streamlined & notional outcomes weren't so pedestrian but some good hand to hand fights do come to the fore & are exciting but the muddled treatment makes what good there is, hazy.
