PLOT
Ji Dong Cheol is a North
Korean Defector (person who gives up allegiance to one state in exchange of
allegiance to other, due to difference in political, religious, or personal
reasons) who lives in South Korea to avenge the killer of his wife and daughter.
He is working as a hired driver of a corporate chairman, Park. When one day Korean
intelligence kills this business man to acquire one of his possession, but he
handed it to Ji before his death. Now Ji is on the run again, accused of
murder, wanted for treason, desperate to uncover the hidden truth in Park’s
possession and to carry out his personal vendetta.
The Suspect can be considered as Korean Bourne movie, which is filled
with fast moving storyline and some breathtaking stunts. There are a lots
similarity of this movie with Matt Damon’s Bourne series, but still it’s not a
copycat. There are two massive car chasing scenes, several shootouts and
hand-to-hand combat which will make it as a high voltage thriller, from normal
Korean movies it doesn’t have a dark theme or rainy conditions, instead uses
daylight shots and intriguing background music.
