Migthy Thor May 04 2016 1:45 am I super highly recommend this movie to all those who wants first class action film. Brilliant story, great production, fabulous CAST!

Jung Woo-Sung = ALWAYS THE BEST !!!

CONGRATULATIONS . . . !!!

Kevin Nov 16 2015 1:02 am Just added to Netflix. A great watch, too bad they didnt expand more on the divine player himself. The whole reason they found eachother and defeated their enemies was because of that unnamed faceless player. Great imagry behind that too.

Josh Aug 30 2015 1:48 am I don't understand what happened at the end? Didnt the girl and the other characters die?

Timothy Vaiphei Feb 15 2015 4:38 am realy love this movie..the actors were awsome especially jung woo sung,lee beom soo,choi jin hyuk....i hate the heroine bcause of i don't watch the Poseidon... waitin for next movie jung woo sung saraenghae!!!! fightin!! FROM °°°INDIA°°°

marian Jan 18 2015 8:21 pm i liked it. it was a rather good movie but it felt kinda short for me. i hope it was made into a mini series instead

spy camera Dec 28 2014 9:55 pm I'd like to find out more? I'd love to find out some additional information.

Cavenurse Dec 01 2014 3:39 pm Lee Beom-Soo was so "evil" in his role as Salsoo. Jung Woo-Sung, well, he just pure magic to watch. Wow, this movie was kind of hard to watch at times. Kudos to all the actors. Definitey a 19+ audience. Now, I plan to re-watch this movie to pick up the subtext of the movie that I missed in the first viewing. Maybe I'll be able to watch it with both eyes open this time!!!

jungle fish Nov 26 2014 2:22 pm I thought that the movie is all about fighting but it's not.. the game of go makes this movie more interesting and never make you bored.. but I'm still curious who's the man in the prison who has 'divine move' itself.. the scene where jung woo sung and jin hyuk in the cold room was so cool.. and still amazed looking lee bum soo as villain, such a cold blooded killer

Genesis Sep 23 2014 8:34 am There isn't a theater where I reside that released this....so I will be seriously looking for this one on DVD....I hope it has an availability for America when the time comes.

The entire cast has amassed some awesome projects/movie and television credits....so, this is a must see.

Buddy Taufiq Jul 29 2014 7:52 pm I'm watching it right now..!! I'm So god damn love it

Amaya Jul 28 2014 4:28 pm Omo!!! I wanna watch so bad but cant find any theaters. :( Jin Hyuk... I WILL WAIT FOR YOU!!

Shanee Jul 26 2014 11:05 pm This movie was the BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! I totally recommend this to everyone!!! Such the best movie I have ever seen in my life!!! I can't believe HE IS SO HOT!!! His abs are just so sexy and so is jin-hyuk's too!!! Both guys are beautiful and I have never seen such a handsome killer as Jin-Hyuk and such a good fighter even against people with knives such as Woo- Sung!! WHY IS HE JUST SO SEXY!!!!!!???? God damit!!! I love korean action movies to god damn much!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
