Reasonable thriller drama. The story is simple but expertly crafted. The build up is good and the tension is built up strongly. The film also keeps you interested until the very end. The ending is also the strongest with a very exciting finale. Don't expect any further action, except for one scene it is pure tension and drama. The acting is also ok. Visually there is little to criticize. 3.5

In 2006, South Korea was one of the countries that provided unarmed support to the United States in the fight in Afghanistan. When the Taliban kidnap a group of South Korean missionaries, it's up to diplomat Jung Jae Ho [Hwan Jung-min] to steer the negotiations in the right direction. To do this, he cannot do without the help of Park Dae Sik [Hyun bin], whose contacts and knowledge of the culture are indispensable, but whose recent behavior makes him difficult to trust. Competently made, entertaining hostage thriller with deadlines and some good action sequences, but the screenplay has nothing original to offer.
