Commitment

Love this movie, when the brother and sister's love so strong. I cried so much, must see this movie.

Him and his superhuman strength and skills, nothing special about the movie unfortunately.

The son of a murdered North Korean spy is recruited to infiltrate South Korea as an assassin with the promise of being reunited with his sister when he finishes the job. While posing as a North Korean defector, he befriends a girl being bullied by other students and defends her. Meanwhile, a regime change has happened in the North and he is targeted for elimination. A decent action film that suffers from a bit too much choppy editing in the action sequences and a hero who is a killing machine with no real explanation offered for where he learned to be one.

Solidly acted Korean movie about spies from the North moving south over the border to steal back a package that was stolen from them. The young man, Myung-hoon, poses as a student while dispensing the ultimate justice in the service of his nation. Interesting story, good action sequences. Well worth watching.

A highly impressive espionage action film from South Korea, building believable and brutal action scenes as well as dramatic intensity. The casting of young rapper T.O.P. is spot on. His acting and script don't cater to far to it's teen demographic in its teen spy roots as it blossoms into a mature and tragic thriller.

This is the sort of film that aspiring filmmakers and actors such as myself love to watch. Though there are parts that definitely need alterations, Commitment is not a movie one should regret watching. Touching base as most new movies after Kim Jong-il's death did on the secret wars and relations between North and South Korea, this film follows a young North Korean pushed into espionage after his father is betrayed and killed while operating as a splinter agent in the South. Two years later, he has evolved into a lethal young man, and as he is sent to operate in the South, he begins to question if he'll ever go back home, see his sister, or even survive. T.O.P. is a natural actor as Myung-hoon the protective and betrayed figure on a mission that keeps changing as he keeps getting hunted. The movie progresses near perfectly up until after the climax and ending, which both leaves audiences upset at the outcome, which could have easily been avoided. But, that's Korean cinema for you, entertaining, somewhat realistic but leaving main characters inept. It's full of action, emotion, definitely scenes that will bring an enticed watcher to tears, but it would have served them well if they had elaborated more on Myung-hoon's personal growth, his friendship and perhaps romantic connection with Lee Hye-in. Overall, it's an excellent film for the moviegoer who wants to be kept on the edge of their seats. For aspiring filmmakers/actors, it gives good acting chops for aspiring teen actors, and where not to go wrong for the story writer.

An attempt at using a big name artist to cash in on a poor movie. Commitment is full of plot holes, the setting is also set so that it would seem interesting to the audience, but in reality doesn't make much sense. I would have loved to see more transformation and shock at his arrival in South Korea, but none of it was showcased, and the film would have worked better if it stayed within the same setting, but instead it goes from place to place and the film feels confused and the story convoluted.

This is sooo much better than Woody Allen.

Stylish, brooding thriller that flew in under the radar.

Dips in parts but overall maintains a through-line that makes american movies with no story cry.
