In the end, it's quite an ordinary drama about two losers falling in love with each other, but it's still spiced up by the political situation and the region itself, which elevates the film a bit, although it doesn't seem to be a significantly intense movie, which is a shame.

It stars T.O.P and I'm a girl, so it's almost a given that my rating will be more than positive. Plus, I feel like his acting skills have improved quite a bit. But the other actors were excellent as well, almost without exception. Another positive is the perfect script. The action scenes were very nice to watch, they were pretty clear and imaginative. And aside from my heart pounding when it was over, there were about two times I was quite on edge. An action movie like it should be. 4.5 stars.
