The Suspect is not as good as The Man From Nowhere. Still it's great and worth watching.

Definitively Korean Bourne - but it tries too hard to copy it - it doesn't feel fresh.

Soundtrack (this is annoyingly at least 90% similar to Bourne movies)
Fight-scenes
Car-chases
Cinematography (right down to the shaky cam and "hand-action")

I loves those types of movies. That might just be me, but in every movie that is like that it is so intense. I usually call this the Bourne Formula. Lol Anyways I know what you mean, but as a movie on its own it was pretty good. Definitely can be called Korean Bourne. Lol

Just saw this film---it turned out to be a lot more complex than just your typical-ex-spy-gets-framed-for-murder-and-has-to-go-on-the-run scenarios---in fact,this is the first Korean film I've seen where the main character is a defector, and how he deals with living in South Korea. But,yeah, the film was one long wild and crazy ride from one place/plot point to the next, plus it had some memorable and sometimes funny characters (the tough,always-pissed-off,don't-give-a-what with an attitude Colonel Min, his goofy assistant who turned out to be a big help, and the complaining male reporter,the main reporter who fought like heck to get a story,and the main bad guy from hell.) they really made the film. The leading man was cute and could kick ass, but surprisingly he didn't stand out as much as the other characters for me---go figure. And the shaky-cam didn't bother me at all---guess I'm used to it. Only thing I didn't like about the film were the fight scenes---they were cut up to such an extent, you couldn't always see the full complete fight like you usually do in most Asian films. Plus the ending which was nic and peaceful was a little too drawn out in some places. Other than that, a pretty good if over the top, solid Korean action movie.
