What makes movies for me are good lines and acting, of course. In the beginning part of the film, quite good lines and a good rapport between the Main couple Ethan and Nora. Baddie Jason Bateman's character was well played too. It was also quite eye-opening to see the inner workings of LAX terminal and the baggage areas.
The setting is perfect - LAX on Christmas Eve sprinkled with shades of Die Hard and Bruce Willis!
But then some very implausible things happen which means basically a lot of lazy script writing.
NOTE FOR FUTURE: When you have a gun on a mass terrorist, please shoot him the legs at least and not give them control!

Wow, what can you say about Park's new show! The pacing, acting, script and plot were all TOP NOTCH in the first 3 episodes.
The main heroine plays it cool: fits the role well. The govt baddies all seem 3 dimensional, and also including the Black ops team. The only criticism is Paul, whose English is kinda bad and unbelievable. His Korean acting is a lot better. All other supporting characters have a great script to work with!
Usually for many K dramas, lines are repeated, actors OVER act, and the action is slower paced. Not with Tyrant... layers & layers of tough-as-nail characters that play their roles superbly. Nothing is predictable until we hit the last episode. Some lazy script writing complemented by a vial/virus as black as... Venom from Spiderman comics/movies! A bit disappointed but still a thumbs up.
