Plots(1)

Park wraps his darkly violent psychological thriller within the political intrigue of bureaucratic agendas and media narratives, with key person of interest Kim Kwang-il (a silent and deadly Lee Jong-Suk) existing at the nexus of humanity and diplomacy. Hot on his trail for a multitude of political and personal reasons are Jang Dong-gun as an agent of the National Intelligence Service, fighting a battle for his very soul, Kim Myung-min and Park Hee-soon as driven police officers from the South and North willing to go beyond the call of duty, and even Peter Stormare as a member of the CIA. Everyone wants Kim Kwang-il and he's right within their grasp, but this soft-spoken, hyper-intelligent political psychopath knows exactly how to play the game. (Fantastic Fest)
