Before anything else, I want to just say that I am in pure shock of how absolutely captivated I was with this film. Even within the first few minutes of the movie, I had already thought that I would definitely be in for a ride. There isn't much for me to say about anything negative with this, and I cried a lot in this movie, especially since all the characters were able to move me quickly.

Realizing how important they value not only their own lives, but even those around them and their dedication to their cause absolutely broke me. Seeing the destruction portrayed here left such a deep impression in me, especially since my country had gone through something similar many years ago. Reliving these moments through the movie further deepened those roots and I can't ever imagine how I'd be living through something like that.

Back to the movie though, everything was well put together, but I can definitely feel the dramatization in it. Even so, it's still quite the experience, and now there's just a big space of emptiness in my heart, a tinge of warmth in it because of the conclusion of the film. If you're into something gritty, yet still leaning to the dramatic side, then this is definitely for you.

Lastly, I did wish the two had the opportunity to meet, but I heard that Hinzpeter had passed away, God bless his soul. For Mr. Kim, I really hope that he and his family had survived through the manhunt.
