Missão Cruzada

I love this very star studded movie bought by netflix !! Its very entertanining hilarious me and my wife are laughing so hard .. feel good movie with some tough of western style spy or CIA thingy .. but its good writing this review while on my smoke break we havent finished the movie yet but im rating it now to be first person to rate this.. so far we are enjoying this too much .. that we have to pause while we go the comfort room or have a smoke .. very entertaining with likeable actors and very famous korean actors .. watch and enjoy it you will have a good luaGH WATCH IT WITH YOUR PARTNER to enjoy it.

Hwang Jung-min is one of my favorite actors out of South-Korea and his movies are always a prize to see.

This one is also one of his biggest. He plays the houseman of a very tough policewoman, and she doesn't know his past. But, she will find out, and then the movie begins even better.

Cant tell too much, just relax and enjoy this action/comedy.

Don't forget to watch the scene were he has glasses and tries to infiltrate with a truck for sewers. And later acts like a patient from the facility.

Also, the supporting roles are very good and funny.

For me, this is a very good solid actionflick fom the south-koreans.

Just watch and enjoy.

MISSION: CROSS is kind of the Korean version of MR & MRS SMITH, following the story of an unhappily married suburban couple. The wife is a top police officer while the husband stays at home and runs the place, but of course he holds some secrets too and eventually the characters collide in a typical spy/action/suspense plotline. I found this one a bit of a disappointment as although the action is okay, it's too mannered and hyper-stylised to really work. Hwang Jang Min is a reliable screen presence but the actress playing his wife overacts horrible and the repeatedly forays into slow motion just look silly. It's an entirely forgettable action comedy.

Park Kang-moo is a sincere and kind house-husband to Kang Mi-seon who is a top detective in violent crimes division. What she doesn't know is that Kang-moo is an ex-spy and was forced to leave his past life after a failed mission. As he leads a boring yet satisfying life of an house-husband, a chance encounter with Jang Hee-joo, his junior will make him to go back to his life as a spy in order to help Hee-joo save her kidnapped husband. This case gets entangled with the one Mi-seon is investigating on and she soon suspects Kang-moo of having an affair with Hee-joo. As they both get into the game without knowing the players, the danger that follows will bring them closer. How do they get out of the mess and save their marriage, forms rest of the story.

The writing is basic at it's best and after the only big reveal about the mysterious villain, half way into the film, Mission: Cross literally is devoid of any intriguing moments and the action too is quite generic to stand out. All it leaves is the two main leads to kick up the spark and the comic timing to salvage what's left but that just proves to be not enough. Even with the runtime of barely 100mins, the film gets boring and the half baked screenplay doesn't really offer anything to remember. Spoiler, the film does end on a note opening up for a sequel but there is hardly any interest left to care for it.

Keuroseu or mission cross is a netflix orginal korean comedy film. I think it does very well and actually mixes comedy well with the crime elements. It has a pretty good cast that all work well together and the action elements are both fun to watch and funny, especially when the detective uses her knuckle taser. This film focuses on a couple, kang mi seon the detecitve and her husband park kang moo and she does not know about his previous life, so while investigating something major its not long before the unlikely heroes team up to protect one another in the ultimate test to their marriage. This was overall a pretty fantastic film.
