How do you evaluate the Korean movie "Assassination"?

The whole story feels very much like the "Anti-Japanese War version of Mission: Impossible". The masters who perform their respective duties also make the film a wonderful group show, allowing a number of supporting actors to have their uses.

Familiar faces in Korean movies such as Wu Dal-soo, Zhao Zhenxiong and Choi Deok-moon interpret loyalty and justice, setting off the strength and fierceness of the protagonists Ha Jung-woo and Jeon Ji-hyun, and contrasting the villain Lee Jung-jae's treachery and evil. And the character's personality is distinct enough to leave a deep impression on every audience.

Due to cultural differences, even doing this will make the characters closer to Eastern audiences than the group scenes of Hollywood movies. In the end, every character has a role, but no character steals the show. We can't help but secretly applaud this kind of processing and the skill of the screenwriter.

Introduction

The action design of the film still tends to be realistic, handheld photography is standard, and the shaking lens creates a sense of reality. Of course, freehand slow motion still appears from time to time to remind you that this is a commercial work and not a documentary. In the first assassination mission, the process of the gas station assassination operation was very surprising. It was almost completed in one go, without any sloppiness. The level of scheduling of this scene is close to that of the works of Hong Kong action film directors during their golden period. The intensity and plot are designed very well, giving each character a lot of room to play. Several sets of shots are explained very clearly, and the editing is also distinctive.
