Double Dhamaka - South Korean Films - Cirme-Thrillers
Cold Eyes (Gamsijadeul) [2013 : Korean : Crime (Action, Thriller) : 2hrs]
Remake of 2007 Chinese movie Eye in the Sky.
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
- Oscar Wilde
After a smooth & flawless bank robbery, a survilence team starts to investigate the crime scene, notably with the help of Cold Eyes, the street cameras. This team has limitations such as they are to report and not take any action. Begins the hunt of the unknown - the master-mind, who is hidden amoung the crowd.
The movie is about detailing, as its naration too. The premises is quite intriguing, and the flow is fluid. The film takes just the 15 first minutes to introduce its principle characters, which also holds the heist. The rest of the film is gripping.

"The door will always, always be open, and mother will always be waiting at it for me.”
- Maimie Mannering in 'Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens' by Sir James Matthew Barrie
Detectives are running against time to bring back safe the kidnapped child, as well as get the kidnapper. Detective Ho comes in terms with reality, as a kidnap case he had been investigating for the past 15 years comes to its end of terms, declared unsolved. When his assosiate contacts him over the new kidnap case, Ho finds the similarities and is sure its this kidnapper he has been chasing past 15 years. Kidnapper is back in town, so is Detetive Ho.
I wish not talk about the screenplay and take away the charm, you will come face to face with it. Twist, but don't Turn, you will miss another Twist. Experience the 2 hours filled with suspense, including the sentiments of all those involved. The post climax is a tearjerker.
Montage - Medley of Mystery
