With all this movie was seen by 5.5 million viewers, which translated into almost 40 billion profit won (~$37 million).
The entire cast has done an excellent job and characters portrayed by them seemed very real, so we can fully enjoy how well they are written out. Starring beautiful Han Hyo-Joo (Always (2011), Masquerade (2012), Love 911 (2012)), accompanied by an experienced Sol Kyung-Gu (Public Enemy (2002), Silmido (2003), Tidal Wave (2009), Troubleshooter (2010), The Tower (2012)), while their opponent is portrayed by Jang Woo-Sung (Musa the Warrior (2001), Mutt Boy (2003), A Moment to Remember (2004), The Good, The Bad, The Weird (2008)) in on of his few roles as an antagonist. This is an excellent remake of the Hong Kong movie Eye in the Sky (2007) and is a remake, which in my opinion has surpassed the original.įor this solid work is responsible pair of directors, debuting Kim Byung-Seo and more experienced Choi Ui-Seok (he also wrote script for the movie and previously directed two movies, Make it Big (2002) and The World of Silence (2006)). Cold Eyes is a great example that there is still room for innovation and a new way of using old ideas. Unfortunately, this consistency in the level is also some kind of curse, because overtime the viewer starts to feel familiar with all the schemes and because of that most of the new thrillers will feel similar to the older and it will be hard to find something fresh. Only a handful of them is outstanding, but the rest is solidly constructed and does not deviate in the level from foreign production. Rewatch Value 7.0 Korean thrillers have earned them self certain reputation over the years, a reputation due to their consistent high level.
