The movie starts Jang Dong-gun and Kim Min-hee. The movie premiered officially in South Korea on July 4, 2014.The movie centers on a Korean-American man named Gon, who works as a hired assassin in the service of a Los Angeles-based Triad gang after being orphaned due to the death of his mother. During an operation to assassinate a South Korean national trying to sell their assets to the Russian Mafia, Gon executes everyone inside the meeting. But one of the stray bullets fired in the confrontation caused the death of a young South Korean girl. Due to this, Gon became withdrawn to the point that he just wants to retire and live peacefully. His Triad employer agrees, on the condition that he flies to Seoul and assassinate Mo-gyeong Choi, a high-ranking risk manager employed by Ventura Holdings due to the possibility that she could have compromising data stolen from the investment firm that the Triads needs to recover.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })When Gon settles down in Seoul and gets to work, he finds out that Mo-gyeong was living a bad life ever since her husband and daughter were killed in America to the point of trying to commit suicide.

All There in the Script: Some of the character names were not revealed. For instance, Gon's Triad employer's name (Dai Ban) was not revealed in any way, except in cast listing websites on the internet.

Awesome, but Impractical: Gon takes Alvaro's Benelli M3 Super 90 and fires it at Chaoz's position when they raid the apartment complex. While the shotgun is designed to kill or maim people/animals with lead shots, the distance between the two (since the two were shooting at each other via separate apartment blocks) is a bit far that it doesn't do much good in hurting him. Later on, Gon uses it effectively when he fires it very close to Chaoz in the same corridor the two are in, forcing the latter to seek cover.

Bittersweet Ending: Gon has been severely wounded and appears to be dead from major blood loss. In addition, the Triad boss Dai Ban is still out there and probably will know that the last target is still alive. However, all of the major bad guys are dead.

comment
Police are Useless: The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency gets into this problem when hired thugs waltz into an unmarked van and take out the lone officer protecting Mo-gyeong when the latter realizes that they're there to kill her. It gets worse when one of the officers assigned to protect her was paid off by Ventura Holdings to help put a hit on her.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Played with the Russian mafia men protecting the meeting since they were close to hit Gon. Averted with Juan, Alvaro and Chaoz since they were able to injure him at a few places in the middle of the movie.

Concealment Equals Cover: Averted when Gon gets to a shootout with Juan. He hides by getting prone on the ground and behind the tire so that the bullets don't hit him as they easily punch through the sedan he just carjacked.
