Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

In recent years, South Korean cinema has fully flowered, producing both uncompromising highly personal films and crisp, intelligent genre movies, with Shiri the most spectacular example of the latter to date. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

This is an unmistakably Asian variant on the action movie, a sleek, slick, entertaining espionage thriller in the John Woo mold. Read full review

Steven Rea

Compelling, kinetic, fast and furious. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The all-too-vivid simulation of terrorist attacks, including a prolonged scene of a building collapse in which people are seen plummeting to their deaths and crushed under falling concrete, may strike a very different chord with post-9/11 American audiences. Read full review

Carla Meyer

Suffers most from being overlong. Read full review

Ted Shen

Shamelessly derivative and politically expedient. Read full review

Phil Hall

A thoroughly awful Korean production which vainly attempts to recast the slam-bang conventions of American action-adventure flicks into the sticky world of contemporary Korean politics. Read full review
