AJ May 23 2018 3:15 pm Excellent action film with Gong Yoo proving once again that he can do anything. Just sit back and enjoy the ride on this one: great actors, directing, and storyline, but with very little dialogue and his sheer skill, GY commands the screen from start to finish (and the ending is perfect). He is not just a great Korean actor, but one of the best in the world.

Amberle Feb 24 2018 10:35 pm omo! What a great action packed thriller! Kept me on edge to the end! So many twists that I was in fear for the protagonist throughout the movie. Fast paced and intelligent movie as someone says below.

And Gong You is seriously daebak in this! Aside from showing us how much he adapt to the action movie genre (gosh, those moves!), his expressive gaze showing his emotions despite being stoic can't help but makes me really want him to win against all odds in this move.

Gong Yoo really need to act more in this kind of genre. I love him in rom-com and melodramas but now I would really also want him in more action movies!

Berry Jul 08 2017 3:56 pm Such a great action thriller... So glad I found it

Malditang Bugay Jun 07 2017 12:21 am I love Gong Yoo and his acting in this movie is beyond exceptional. The action scenes were really intense and the suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes fast paced, intelligent action films.

tim Jun 06 2017 8:46 pm I think he did an amazing job in this film giving that this is his first action film. I'm seeing a new gong yoo here, hope he'll get more movies like this one. solid story line, good acting, lots of action, keep me on edge the entire time watching this film. amazing

tim Jun 06 2017 8:46 pm I think he did an amazing job in this film giving that this is his first action film. I'm seeing a new gong you here, hope he'll get more movies like this one. solid story line, good acting, lots of action, keep me on edge the entire time watching this film. amazing

Amelia May 26 2017 8:24 pm Agree with #hyung, on Running Man Ep.175. The challenge on the bar above the swimming pool was hilarious & it still brings laughter each time we revisit that part.

hyung Feb 20 2017 11:07 pm must see Running Man eps 175 where those two was there.. damn funny! >_<

iv Jan 02 2017 9:45 am i cried at the ending of trip to busan.... now this! what a greaf actor!

cyn Dec 22 2016 7:25 am oh dear, Gong Yoo looks absolutely handsome and manly man here, better than a caffe prince, cool dad in zombie train or 938yo naughty god in love. the story was not bad, packed with actions that made me hold my breath again and again. and the ending soooo touching. *wondering what would happened to those men* ;) LOOOVEEE IT.

Geraldine Bello Nov 25 2016 7:49 am Wow! Highly recommended, this movie is my all time favorite now. Gong Yoo & Park Hee-Soon's team-up is truly amazing. I can't believed this is Gong Yoo's first action film, he was so good. His fight scenes were so legit & no traces of being a rookie at all. I am very satisfied with the story & i love the ending...made me cry. Kamsahamnida!

gongyoofan Oct 03 2016 7:27 pm Great action film and also oppa acting is good

Sheng Sep 12 2016 11:10 am This movie has definitely given me chills. I don't usually watch korean action films but this one got me hooked because of Gong Yoo. The last part was simply suave and touching.

Wulan May 30 2016 3:33 am As expected, this kind of movie never disappoint me. All the actors, story line, and the action are all perfectly amazed me. No wonder the shooting lasted 9 months. Never think before that Gong Yoo was this cool. I love every line that come out from his mouth. The feel was so cool and deep. Gong Yoo, I'm being your fans from this instant !!

Cheryl petty Dec 18 2015 9:44 pm Great movie, the production values and story don't disappoint. Saw it on Netflix.

firenze Sep 26 2015 2:11 am Gong Yoo has gone from cute to hunk (",) He's so becoming super duper HOT by the day! This movie SUSPECT is just ok, only there's too much car chase. The story would either tell that North Korean spies/soldiers are the BEST or South Korean Law Enforcers are lame and corrupt. Because several times Ji Dong-Cheol was cornered by the police and intel and yet he managed to escaped from them. Anyways nice movie (",)

Miga Apr 19 2015 5:42 pm Loved Gong Yoo in coffee prince so AMAZING ....this movie showed off his amazing talent as an Actor.... PLUS I do believe the man gets sexier by the day

jem Mar 18 2015 10:35 pm amazing amazing amazing movie! this movie was action packed and kept me on my toes, no boring moments whatsoever! the main lead, Gong Yoo was PHENOMENAL! this was the first time I've seen him take on this kind of role (i liked him but wasn't like a huge fan so I didn't really feel the need to watch everything he was in) and he was just great. because of this film, I've fallen in love. looool but seriously tho, he was super cool and bad ass and HOT (not so spoiler spoiler***** that scene when he dislocated his shoulders so he could escape when he was being hung to death was like daaaamnnnn I was getting goosebumps and his angry vengeful acting parts were so goooooooood) . the second lead was incredible as well (the colonel) , and even the bad guy played his role so well he was incredibly hateful ahaha! (as expected from cho song ha) I EXTREMELY recommend this movie if you're looking for a good thriller/action!

Ken Dec 31 2014 12:57 am One of the best thrillers I have seen in 2014 - fresh treatment of a spy/action/adventure movie. Gong Yoo should be the next James Bond (now that they are considering non-white actors for the role).

Pasta4Me Oct 27 2014 12:42 pm Haven't seen anything this exciting since the Bourne movies! Great action, cast, storyline - a real keeper!

Aj Oct 11 2014 9:11 pm Excellent thriller with an intense, very effective Gong Yoo. Second lead is also very good. Highly recommended.

nysa Jun 30 2014 6:54 am I really like gong yoo character in this movie, hope to see you in another movie or drama soon............

lissye chen Jun 26 2014 5:09 am Dear Gong Yoo....Coffe prince just played at Global TV indonesia...I never watching korean drama before....and you make me fall in love in the first sight...to tje korean drama...I'm looking another film you played....I never thought before...that korea have aan actor like u...so awesome dan charming....

Jen Ng Jun 11 2014 10:22 pm I recommend to the audiences to see this good movie . Gong Yoo is very different in his character by express his face and eyes so serious and emotions. Also, he has hard working by flying on high building, mountain and bridge, see how danger riding on the car and his fighting. Finally, all his real tears for happy ending. Love his character and plot of movie.

Randyrocker Jun 02 2014 12:23 am Not since the Bourne movies have I seen such a great movie as this one. I would even say in some ways this makes the Bourne movies look tame, although in the Bourne movies there's a little move of a play on the story line, and a wider array of locations, but as far as action goes, this has everything and more, with a bone fide ending that sets your heart on fire. This is a Great Movie and deserves more world wide recognition. I'm so glad I saw it, and will tell everyone I know how great it was. Won Shin-Yeon's directing was superb in every way. Fantastic, just fantastic.

ALIKO May 19 2014 12:30 pm What a great movie. there are just a few films like this in these years: Commitment , A company man , The Berlin file ...

Hollywood Apr 30 2014 10:11 am MIssion Impossible meets Jason Bourne .

al Apr 17 2014 11:40 pm daebak!!!!!

rully refita Mar 15 2014 12:15 pm good movie,,,,good actors,,, gong yoo is so different in this movie,,,like won bin(the man from nowhere)...i like your character.

rully refita Mar 15 2014 12:10 pm good movie,,,good actors..gong yoo you are the best

Mai Feb 28 2014 10:37 pm I suspect the movie to see!!!!! Please

Peejay Jan 24 2014 3:07 pm I hope this movie will be available in the internet soon. I know Gong Yoo is good in action but not this good.With this movie, I hope producers and directors see how great he is as an actor. Too bad he had to serve the army at the peak of his career but he is slowly picking up because he is a great actor. Just hope he has a good drama series soon, something like the She's on duty movie with Kim Sun-A, action with romance and a bit of comedy. That would really be great for him. Oppa fighting!

Eri Jan 10 2014 5:03 am Is the movie going to be in Singapore?? Am a big fan of Gang Yoo

Constantinoise Jan 07 2014 4:31 pm after seeing the trailer ...... It's clear that it's a WONDERFUL movie & Gong Yoo seems VERY VERY HOT. I'm in love with this man

Cinnamon Cappel Dec 30 2013 4:08 am According to Fandango The Suspect will be in the USA on January 10th. YEAH! Can't wait!

Steve Dec 30 2013 12:18 am Looks great, I plan to screen this movie in Dallas if possible.

robe Dec 28 2013 11:51 am Million viewers in three days I Love You, Man

Genesis Dec 17 2013 3:01 pm I hate that the United States doesn't do more foreign movie releases here...considering the fact that alot of foreign people live in America, I think it would only be fair to have more theatres that feature their films...I'm pretty sure American released movies are widely distributed throughout other countries theatres....

Anyways, Gong Yoo I love you...you are a fantastic actor. I've been an instant fan of your's since I say Coffee Prince, which prompted me to buy the drama, as well as Silenced and Big. I also just watched a recent episode of Running Man that you are on....love you, so much. This movie looks quite interesting and action packed. I live in Texas, so I hope it will get a release here in theatres...sometime we are fortunate enough to get Asian films to show on 1 screen in the theatre for a week or two...so I can only hope because I know there are so many good releases.

Well, I do hope that this movie is a huge hit and I wish you continued success with your career and life.

An American Fan!!! Fighting!!!

Dawn Dec 17 2013 2:47 pm First time I saw Gong Yoo, I was in love....with his acting....lol. Gong Yoo, you already know you're amazing....but let me say it one more time.....YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

peony Dec 17 2013 10:43 am Whoa looking forward to watch Goon Yoo's The Suspect.... being quite a while since his Coffee Prince..... This should be a a very good one as he is a great actor.... hmmm he is sooo tall.....

dette Dec 13 2013 1:03 am wow, looks great and of course gong yoo looks yum hehe!!

Liza★ Dec 12 2013 1:18 am Woah I'll definitely watch this!

Oyabun Nov 27 2013 11:25 am Looks good! but definitively not a north korean agent. Rather a James Bond agent.

Deysa Nov 27 2013 7:09 am He is humble,professional actor ,loves his fans.During his filming in Puerto Rico ,no matter how tired or late, Goon Yoo always took time for puertorrican fans. Deserves more credit for his work,I see a Choi Min Sik aura about him,he is that good!

özlem şen Nov 27 2013 5:34 am Do all over the world will be released? or will be released in Turkey?

Kathryn Nov 26 2013 5:04 pm Didn't he go back to finish up his masters? He went to a really excellent college. Hope this new venture is worthy of all the hard work put into it. MDH & I are looking forward to it!

sung kim Oct 23 2013 11:17 am I love this movie and a little boring

Casting Apr 12 2013 6:10 pm Yes, he was in San Juan Puerto Rico filming. 4/11 at 5:30 AM EST. The people that had the chance to work with him were very impressed with his professionalism and demeanor. Very impressed. He made new fans here. The entire production team was very professional and competent. My talents were very pleased with their time on set as it was well orchestrated and produced.

Word got out and many local fans flocked to the film set to catch a glimpse of Gong Yoon. I personally hope they come back another day to film more films in Puerto Rico.
