Missão Cruzada

Not too much into Asian movies, let alone Korean, but I was browsing out of boredom and here it was, a movie that was packed with good action, interesting plot, and gave me some good haha moments. 'Mission: Cross' surprised me in many ways. The story is engaging, and the characters are well-developed with unique backstories that add depth.

The action sequences are decent, with good fight scenes and thrilling moments. The cinematography captures the essence of the bustling city and the intense atmosphere of the missions. The humor is well-placed, balancing the serious undertones of the plot.

The cast chemistry was fantastic. At first it gave off the usual useless husband plot but it soon turned out to be great. Highly recommended for a movie night.

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.

That enjoyment is largely drawn from the relationship between the married couple at the centre of this drama. Their misadventures provide plenty of room for sparky dialogue amid a journey of mutual discovery.

The action that otherwise dominates the film is well-staged but not remotely believable. So if you like slick action it might do it for you. If, like me, action gains from emotional investment in the plight of those involved or a sense of palpable threat, then you will gain less pleasure from the shootings and explosions.

But I did still enjoy the husband and wife in the middle of it all.

While action dramas are not my favorite genre, I do occasionally enjoy them for a change of pace and this film filled the niche nicely. I really enjoyed the plot line - it has some good twists that are well set up by the previous story-line (I hate plot twists that are set up via misleading scenes and fortunately, this show doesn't stoop to that level).

I thought the action scenes were very well played except for the climactic scene which did go for the cannon fodder trope (having masses of enemy combatants blindly run thru doors or around corners so they can be mowed down by the protagonists). I'll give them a pass on it since it was at the end and thus did not detract from the rest of the show.

I really enjoyed the nuanced humor that was interspersed within the more series aspects of the show and I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic between the two leads, Hwang Jung-min and Yum Jung-ah. Their interactions as a married couple was fun to watch.

Well worth the 100 minute run time.

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.
