The possession of power often leads people to lose their way and forget their initial intentions. In the movie, through Lee Byung-hun's internal struggle, it highlights how those in power can become wrapped up in their position, eventually feeling that they are the most important. They start expecting others not to betray them, displaying a certain level of selfishness. While there are quite a few movies about political maneuvering, this film also gives us insights into Korea's historical background. It really reminds me of China's ancient emperor system and the ongoing military conflicts in many countries. The truth is, people often don't ask for much, but someone always climbs up and becomes a leader, managing the masses. It's a reflection of both human nature and animalistic tendencies.
It's all about acting and Music and rhythem.
Thriller movies are very dangerous to make cause 4/10 will be totally disaster.
Well, after I watched this movie first thing came out from my mind is it's only Jan.26 and I've alreay seen the best movie released in 2020 period.
You will probably say hey man, there is 11 more months to go.
Nope.
This is it.
The movie is about Kim who assasninate the president Park which really happened in South Korea back in 1970s.
Many people thaught the Kim is the bad guy and the President Park is the lendeng who made Korean a rich country now. But you know what? That is not exactly true.
Afte being in that seat for 18 years, he was totallt corrupted.
Someone had to kill him. He was a dictator which no one can touch like Kim Il Sung.
The last 20 minute was so intensed that I couldn't even lean my back on the chair. I had to watch with my back bent towrd the screen.
Not even one minute to feel boring. Great movie.

This movie is based on an original novel with the same name. It shows the emotions going through Kim Gyu-pyeong (Lee Byung-hun), the director of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA).
Basically, Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) was founded in 1961. To spy on North Korean conspiracy, prevent communist were as the primary objective but President Park also used KCIA as a shield to continue his long regime.
There was also intense power struggle between Kim and chief presidential bodyguard Kwak Sang-cheon (Lee Hee-joon). It became so serious during the last 40 days of the President's rule before the latter is assassinated by Kim in 1979.
On the other hand, these two were also fighting to prevent a former KCIA director (Kwak Do-won), who was exiled to the US where Koreagate investigations were under way and knew all about the government's operations, from publishing his memoir.
The chief of presidential bodyguard was becoming very close to the president, Kim was feeling left out or feared that he might lose his position. He was also in disagreement with the actions president took when there was riots against his government. With all that going on, Kim was going through a lot. Ultimately, he decided to assassinate the president along with his chief bodyguard. The shield President Park created for his protection became the reason for his death.
This movie tries to show all viewpoints of why the assassination happened. Though I personally think it takes slightly biased side towards Kim. He was the President of the most feared organization in South Korea, he was not innocent at all. But his intention was not throne instead he tried to do good for the country. Lee is an amazing actor, he portrayed Kim perfectly.
A great watch for thriller movie lovers also you get know about a bit of political history of South Korea.
Enjoy.

You know when they say that good intentions can go wrong? What if you can't actually tell if they went wrong? Who is to say what right and wrong is anyway? I wouldn't dare say I understood every little bit of history that was presented here (this is one of those cases where it makes sense, at least afterwards) to get into what the movie was about. Yes this is based on real characters and events - and yes it can be confusing to a degree.
Especially because of all the grey areas this covers. And power grabs and jealousy, rivalry and pure horror/fear inside ones mind. To at least a certain degree, things displayed here, would be things you'd attest or expect from North Korea(n goverment), not from the one in South Korea. But when not all is developed yet, when people have to go to the streets to protest for certain things and rights ... well things get and are complicated.
So this is very well made and really amazingly acted. If political thriller/drama is in your "playlist"/something you enjoy watching, this is definitely worth watching. Otherwise you may have issues with it and it's pacing ...

It wasn't boring for Koreans, the director approached the case with a neutral standard, and this film re-evaluated the character Kim Jae-gyu.
