	Media	Author	Review
		Jessica Kiang Variety	"An indifferently crafted, surprisingly talky spy thriller that earns considerable interest from the specificity of its setting, but gradually squanders it over a too-long runtime"
		Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Kim Ki-duk changes gears in a sincere tale that politically hits the spot, but feels dramatically obvious (...) a film that has some gripping moments, but not enough of them"
		Dan Fainaru Screendaily	"While liberal audiences may agree with everything the film preaches, they may be less than satisfied with the way it is executed"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"The set-up of his drama is beautiful in its simplicity (...) There’s something fascinating too about how Kim illuminates the impact of kindness in this world"
		Pierce Conran Screen Anarchy	"Complex issues get a facile treatment in 'The Net' (...) More coherent than his last two outings but a far cry from his best work"
