The CinePearl Take
Lee Jae‑wook commands every frame, turning a seemingly ordinary tech whiz into a compelling anti‑hero whose moral ambiguity drives the narrative. Park Hoon‑jung’s pacing is relentless yet controlled, allowing the film’s thematic exploration of ambition and class to unfold without sacrificing adrenaline. Visually, the muted palette and neon‑lit alleyways evoke classic noir while feeling distinctly modern.
