[Movie Review] Confidential Assignment 2 : International
Introduction
Jang Myong-jun, the leader of a North Korean criminal
organisation, is about to be transferred to Pyongyang when FBI agents are
attacked by North Korean gangsters and Myong-jun flees. Because Myong-jun
allegedly entered Seoul using a forged passport, the North Korean government
dispatches Im Cheol-ryong to catch him. Kang Jin-tae meets Cheol-ryong
and decides to resume the investigation to track down Myong-jun, but their work
is thwarted by an FBI agent named Jack, who wants to bring the North Korean
criminals back to the United States on charges of murdering FBI officials. They
agree to expand the operation to a trilateral collaboration of Koreans and
Americans. The plot hinges on how the trio captures Myong-jun.
Review
This is a sequel to the action comedy Confidential Assignment (2017),
and both Hyun Bin and Yoo Hae-Jin reprise their roles as Cheol-Ryung
and Jin-Tae respectively. Yoona also returns as Jin-Tae’s sister-in-law,
Park Min-young that has a crush on Cheol-Ryung. Daniel Henny's
Jack, an American FBI agent, would be a new addition to the premise.
It's been a long time since we've seen such an entertaining package of
action-comedy that includes action-packed choreography in addition to funny
slapstick lines and scenes. From the beginning to the end, the film is packed
with action and hilarious scenes that will undoubtedly brighten your day. There’s
not a single dull moment in the show. Kudos to the director for the great action
sequences and the brilliant use of slow-mo at the right timing that further
enhances the impact of the scenes!
I really enjoy watching Hyun Bin, Yoo Hae-Jin, and Daniel
Henny interact. Despite having very different personalities, this trio
worked well together. All of their conversations are lighthearted, fresh, and
funny, and they fit perfectly into a buddy-cop film like this. The charms of
Hyun Bin and Daniel Henny are no joke, and female fans will enjoy
them. In fact, the show is self-aware and has consistently emphasised their
charms. Yoo Hae-Jin, on the
other hand, is a comedy genius who makes the audience laugh every time he
appears! Yoona should also be praised for her portrayal of an innocent yet
love-hungry character in the show. She works well as a comedic actress, and I
hope to see her in more of them.
The plot of the show is quite generic in the "cop hunts down
baddies" style, but they have added a twist at the end. Some may have
predicted this, but the story is overall very palatable and not overly
complicated. The pacing is smooth and slick, with a good balance of comedy and
action. The soundtracks are also excellent and perfectly complement the film.
The only drawback would be the use of CGI in certain scenes that were
clearly shot with a green screen. However, this is a minor flaw in light of the
overall enjoyment of the show!
Overall, I thoroughly
enjoyed the film. In fact, I thought it was one of the best films I'd seen in
recent months. If you haven't seen the movie yet, please do so!
