	Media	Author	Review
		Maggie Lee Variety	"This well-crafted work deserves to be seen for its thorough account of intricate workings of secret service and political skullduggery."
		Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"The film succeeds at being both exciting and character-driven, but only after a confused first half that will leave international viewers frustrated"
		Charles Bramesco The Guardian	"Yoon executes all the classic double-agent set pieces with finesse (...) Korea appears here as vividly as in any generously budgeted Bond picture (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"This thriller rewards patience over its 140-minute running time (...) Fans of smart, engrossing espionage thrillers will surely come calling."
