This movie is watchable. It isn't a great movie but it is not bad either. I was interested from the start about what was happening. Song Joong Ki with his boyish looks always captures your sympathy especially in the wild dangerous country. He Is forced to do things when people go after him. Not too fantastic a plot to be fairly believable even though it isn't a true story.
Good on location filming. This isn't a drug movie it's about smuggling Korean clothes to sell in Colombia. The plight diaspora folks face is another aspect. Funny how they are robbed just leaving from the airport. Actually the crime reminds me of how tourists are preyed on in Paris or Madrid or Rome. So called first world countries are just as bad.
The flaw is maybe because it is just a movie and not a series there isn't a whole lot of emotional connection with the characters. Not time for backgrounds of the supporting characters so don't feel anything for them. Also there is no romance or much development regarding his own family. It's about battling over smuggling clothes in to sell in Colombia and not paying customs. Dealing with the bribery and corruption of the local officials is fairly scary although it is not Escobar level. Not scary means more realistic so it's a nice change from exaggerated thrillers.
I can see why this movie wasn't a big box office hit. It is not an exciting thriller. But it's okay for a Netflix watch.
