Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Detective Hwang (Sol Kyung-Gu) leads a specialized surveillance team in the police department. Yoon-Joo (Han Hyo-Joo) takes a test to join the team. She's tested on her observation skills and memorization. She passes her test and becomes the newest member of the surveillance team.

While, Yoon-Joo takes her test, James (Jung Woo-Sung) and his crime group robs a bank. He stands on the rooftop of a nearby building and directs his team's movements. He doesn't tolerate any mistakes.

As soon as Yoon-Joo joins the surveillance team, they are tasked to take down James' criminal group. The surveillance team immediately runs into trouble when they can't identify any of the robbers due to their masks and their efficiency in robbing the bank. Detective Hwang finds one man caught on CCTV near the bank.

Monette Sep 04 2022 6:11 am I am so happy and so excited from start to end.

Imagine it was a star studded movie with Yo han!

I am speechless... Can't contain my excitement.. haven't finished it... ?

StarGladiator Oct 20 2021 9:03 am A first-rate, suspenseful film with a tight, perfect script and dialog.

Highly recommended!

(Although I have been banned from the Seattle Library System by their Mzoist director and his commie buddies wt Bibliocommons in Canada ---- for my anticommunist book reviews --- I am still fortunate to be able to comment here! A sad state of events in America! And thanks, Asianwiki!)

mome Jul 24 2021 12:15 am just finished this, great movie!! a lil bit nerve wrecking, but not that thrilling. i just love how everything goes a planned, systematic, and strategical. tbh i don't know how to describe but this 'catch-a-culprit-with-good-strategy-and-utilize-technology' kind of movie is my cup of tea so i like this movie A LOT.

Detective daramjwi & the director gonna be my fav character. They stole the show (for me :D) Aaannddd i just found out the one who played daramjwi is an idol :o wow he is a great actor!!

Jil Apr 08 2021 5:58 am Wow!

So good!

Cayleigh Sep 11 2020 6:29 pm Wow! Just watched and it was so good! Had me on the edge of my seat. Didn’t even know that was an old movie either. Definitely recommend!

Antique Mar 31 2017 8:47 am Love it !!!

Sheng Aug 31 2016 6:48 am This movie was only great because of Sol Kyung Gu. The rest of the cast were just so-so. Maybe it's because of their roles in the movie which were too stagnant. The story plot was a little bit subdued.

rskdrama Apr 29 2014 9:19 pm such a different movie for Korean films.. good watch

Pavel Greco Apr 03 2014 4:29 pm Where's Korean Cinema here? Boring, standardized, music playing almost constantly, characters unreal, no human touch. Even the great actors in it don't shine. Shame

Mark Choy Sep 27 2013 12:30 am Cold Eyes is a remake of a Hong Kong film titled Eye In The Sky from 2007. The set up of the plot is the same of a suave and meticulous master criminal who plans the crime but watches from rooftops. The fat man lookout who runs interference but whose debit card-like charge in a convenience store betrays his identity and those of his crew. The rookie who is initiated into a some kind of special unit of anti-crime unit.

Fortunately, this Korean remake is not shot- for-shot. The basic premise and story set-up are the same.

Check it out the Honk Kong film guys. That was enjoyable too.

whydidiwatchthis Sep 22 2013 2:08 pm Terrible, terrible film, awful plot, awful acting, intentionally confusing, idol actor, ugh!

Excalibunny Sep 15 2013 1:52 am Watched this movie a few days ago, and still can't believe that she's go the biggest role in this film, despite being cast along side with veteran top-notch actors like Sol Kyung Gu and Jung Woo Sung. Her presence in this movie really brighten up the intensive atmosphere at appropriate moments. I'm so proud of her achievement in this film. Really enjoyed it.
