Sang-yun (Shin Hyeon-jun) leads a gang of assassins - silent marksman
Jae-yeong (Jeong Jae-yeong), temperamental Jung-woo (Shin Ha-kyun) and
rookie Ha-yun (Won Bin) that accepts pretty much every job, no matter how
difficult, and that has the ability to always evade the police. But in
their private life, the assassins behave more than teenagers, they are all
lusting for a certain news anchor who reads the morning news, Oh Young-lam
(Ko Eun-mi), fall in and out of love and do all kinds of silly things -
like Jung-woo falling in love with his supposed hit (Oh Seung-hyeon),
which makes Sang-yun talk their employee out of it, violently, or Ha-yun
taking pity to a schoolgirl who wants her teacher killed but cannot afford
it. Eventually, a detective (Jeong Jin-yeon) gets on their trail, but he
does everything to prevent their arrest, even lets them pull off their
biggest stunt - a murder on open stage during a performance of Hamlet,
ordered by Miss news anchor Oh Young-lam herself - just because he needs
them. Because you know, our detective wants a certain criminal, Mun-bae
(Son Hyeon-ju), who constantly evades arrest, killed, and he tricks our
assassins into believing they are under attack by him and his man, he even
goes so far as to personally shoot and gravely injure Sang-yun ... and in
the end, his persistence pays off, as the assassins swallow the bait and
shoot Mun-bae out of a misguided sense of revenge. Only Sang-yun somehow
gets the feeling they have been had, but when he goes to the police
station to give him up to the detective, he cannot provoke the man into
arresting him, as the last thing the detective would need right now was
Sang-yun doing some talking ...
Light-hearted comedy about
something as serious as contract killers - and to an extent, the movie
works beautifully, it's amusing to the point of being intentionally silly
(without reverting to stupid jokes, bad slapstick and bathroom humour),
it's elegantly directed and well-written, and the script is rather
intelligent, actually. However, the film is not perfect, it just contains
a few too many subplots that go by underdeveloped in the course of the
main story and disappear way too suddenly given their (comic) potential. Still,
the film is good fun if nothing else.
