This portion of the movie was brought to you by the letters S, P and L. Photos: TGV Pictures

This 2020 South Korean action flick, not to be confused with the 2014 Hollywood horror flick of the same title, boasts some impressive action sequences, loads of tension and some unexpected bursts of humour and tenderness.

It’s about a black ops agent turned contract killer, In-nam (Hwang Jung-min, The Battleship Island), who wants to retire after his most recent job but gets dragged into a kidnapping case in Thailand.
