REVIEW:

• The story was really interesting but there were parts that seemed too slow (scenes without action). By the second half of the movie, there were twist and turns happened made things a lot better.
• You would get really mad at most of the scenes but the ending was very good.
• There are so many morbid/brutal scenes. I almost stopped watching in the beginning because of it.
• Action scenes were really good and intense.
• I was shocked to see Peter Stormare (Lucifer from Constantine movie) here.
• I was really amazed at Lee Jong Suk here because he was so scary at some of the scenes. This is the first time I saw him as a villain and he did a great job especially since his previous characters were good guys.
• Jang Dong Gun and Kim Myung-min were amazing in their respective roles.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Your choice. Take note that there are many morbid scenes.

Although he is a serial killer, there must be some motive to kill him. Despite having more than two hours of screen time, his motive is not clear.

SPOILER: All the A-list Korean actors, but sadly wasted by a ridiculous screenplay. Americans were again played the role with no conscience and blind justice. South Koreans had kao-tau to the Americans, covered up the horrible serial killer from the North Korea. And North Koreans also got no conscience and turned a blind eye to the serial crimes as long as the guy's father was still in power. South Korean Police high ranking officers got no conscience either, so the real detective who did the right thing was wasted for nothing to gain. The whole movie is a much ado about nothing circle, just telling a ridiculous story, but there's one thing to learn from this film, especially to our men, you and me:

Never insult another guy's impotency publicly, if you do, you might pay a very high price later.

V. I. P." is an impressive action crime thriller, which includes all elements that made the genre a huge success internationally.

South Korean movie industry produces one of the finest movies, especially action thrillers and this one is no exception. Even though a one time watch, offers one of the best action scenes, screenplay, direction, dialogues. Nail biting thriller you are looking for. Highly Engaging and serves the purpose that is entertainment.
