Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Feb 28, 2019
The action sequences are mostly terrific: impactful, surprising and brilliantly choreographed...It's undergirded by a decent mystery-thriller storyline and two very appealing leads. Go to Full Review Peter Debruge Variety Oct 8, 2018
Action comes easy to Korean director Kim; it's actors that he doesn't always know what to do with. Go to Full Review James Mudge easternKicks.com Oct 24, 2020
2/5
Convoluted, over-long and lacking in either compelling characters or exciting action - a real case of wasted potential Go to Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia Jul 26, 2020
5/10
It's a boring, conventional, and overly long remake. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Dec 1, 2019
it does not surpass the average, and in my book, particularly due to its specific premises (great source material, big budget, great director and cast), the movie is a failure, particularly because it could have been so much more. Go to Full Review William Schwartz HanCinema Jun 21, 2019

Andrew S @Malasita Jul 6, 2026 Korean remake of a classic Japanese anime film See more Rosana B @RosanaBotafogo May 29, 2023 Adoro filmes com futuros distópicos, aqui temos um exemplar oriental, com seus tiros e bombas, mas que na verdade são um pano de fundo para trama principal de traição, corrupção, receitas governo e rebeldes... Longo, bem longo, o que o torna bem entediante no meio para o final, quando a ação explode, o plot Twist, até o desfecho final... Ainda se mantenha a regularidade e é um filme razoável...
