F***ing crap

Could not bring myself to watch the whole of this film. I cant belive that in this day and age films like this still get made.

Tube....less

Clever marketing ploy following the 'transporter' packaging....but that's where the similarities end. This isn't really bad, so i can't agree with the other reviewers,i think you have to remember the far east stuff they dish out and love, don't get me wrong this ain't no hard boiled and the dubbing ain't great but it is still Okay, i quite enjoyed it, but not quite in the same catagory as others i've seen so tread cautiously, if die hard is the one and you ain't seen an eastern before avoid at all costs.

Not crap

I thoroughly enjoyed this mainstream far east actioner. Yes it is a bit like Die Hard 3 but what's wrong with that. There's two solid central performances, a nice romance and although a tad predictable the action holds up well. What other film offers an analysis of the Korean train system with martial arts thrown in? It has TWO audio tracks in Korean and English and you can watch either.

Mmmmmmmkay

didn't really know what to expect with this, have watch Oldboy in the past few weeks and fancied some more korean stuff.

started off with lots of shooting and SWAT style action and i though to myself 'great, a Korean Heat'...it then tailed off into blandness....don't bother getting this unless you're struggling to find something down the video shop.

One small complaint...saw this with the Korean Audio and english subtitles, but the english subtitles are the hard of hearing ones so u get the sounds described as well which is slightly annoying...and at one vital bit of the film there's some korean text on screen that you need to be able to read but noone thought to put on english subtitles for that.

A Korean Actioneer

Not as poor as the other reviews here would suggest. Yes, it is very much a mix of Speed and Die Hard, but I did enjoy the action sequences set on the Seoul subway system. I watched this in Korean with subtitles, dubbed foreign films are the pits. One irritation though, why are the good guys such bad shots?

Derivative

Although a big budget movie by Korean standards I'm afraid that it's all been done before, and the action is a bit too plodding to sustain interest for long. The young lady playing the girlfriend of the policeman provides a nice bit of eye candy though!

Mind the Gap

The normally reliable far eastern action film genre goes off the rails in this Korean cross between Die Hard and The Taking of Pelham 123. The action is pedestrian, the heroes vaguely annoying and the bad guy just plain dull. Stay in the buffet car for this one.

Don't waste your time renting this!!!!!

The only reason to watch this film is to laugh at the ridiculous american voiceovers.

You've heard of 'straight to video?' This one should have been 'straight to bin!'

Utterly tedious to watch, and totally unmemorable after viewing!
