Program Note
At the same time as murder suspect Yeo-hoon is brought unconscious to the Emergency Room following a shooting incident, an assailant breaks into the house of Tae-jun, the Emergency room’s doctor in charge, and kidnaps his wife. The kidnapper calls the doctor and tells him to bring Yeo-hoon to him. To retrieve his wife, Tae-jun has no option but to save the patient and sneak him away before the police can notice. This action film is a remake of Point Blank(2010), a French film, but there are a number of differences from the original in this Korean remake. New characters such as the female detective and the head of a police investigation team drive the story to a dramatic twist. Actor Ryoo Seung-yong underwent a five-month action training to play the character of Yeo-hoon, and other experienced actors enliven their characters as well. The second feature film of director CHANG, this film was invited to a Midnight Screening of the Cannes Film Festival 2014. (NAM Dong-chul)
