It was better than I expected!
It was not only a part for action but also a part for drama!
It was a really tear dropper movie!

The opening was really straight to the point of the movie: action!
The drama part in the second half of the movie did really a wonderful part of the relationship between the character!
The ending was emotional but ... I don't know ... the flashback makes me just more emotional LOL

Many says that the drama part of the movie ruined the movie.
But I just think its just the part we know the character better

I like the chemistry between the 2 main actors!
One is black One is white! They weren't villain neither friends!
Jang Dong Gun & Lee Jeong Jae did both a great job!
I must say this is Jang Dong Gun's second movie for me!
I saw him in Taegukgi before and he's really a excellent actor!
I got another another movie of him @ home.
Maybe I should give it a try ^^

The movie contains many languages: Korean, Russian, Thais, Chinese & English.
Most of the movie was shoot in Thailand, Russia & South Korea

As a result, Sin fosters deep-rooted hatred and fury.
