A powerful film of moral complexity
I was fortunate enough to be able to see this film the day it came out in the US. I was drawn to it because it was the last film of the late Lee Sun Kyun, but I found the film fascinating overall. Lee Sun Kyun’s performance as a man involved in the Presidential assassination of 1979 is understated, even stoic, as befits his character. Jo Jung Suk Is fantastic as the cynical attorney trying to save his client. The film uses light and darkness effectively to underscore its messages. I highly recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?
