As you probably already heard or read, this can be called Chungmuro's version of Ocean's Eleven, but with a cross-border twist - the coming together of a Korean team and a Hong Kong team. If you are a fan of Hong Kong movieland you would probably recognize some of the stars from the Hong Kong team. It is definitely very stylishly put together, assisted by the glamorous Macau and Hong Kong cityscape, and gritty Busan apartment buildings in the backdrop. Most of the main characters well developed, with the exception of some supporting characters, whose backgrounds we had a a peek but were never quite fully explained. But if this was done well, it probably would last EVEN longer than the approximately 2h 20min duration (which is more than long enough for me). For me, this is the most interesting part of the film. Besides some exciting action scenes, particularly those that involve wire work, there are many funny scenes too, especially those involving Gianna Jun, Kim Soo Hyun and Oh Dal Soo. The music was pretty snazzy and added to the exciting scenes of the movie. There is no need to overanalyze this movie. Suitable for general entertainment.
