Review of The Berlin File (2013) by Tim M — 16 Jun 2014
Communism and the surveillance state continues among North Koreans, even in Berlin. It's worth watching for the hay field shootout alone. A worthy follow-up to No Blood, No Tears and The City of Violence.
"this crisply directed spy thriller from Korea holds your attention through its overall smooth professionalism.".
? David Noh, Film Journal International.
"The movie offers just about all you could ask of a genre flick: poisonings, defections, a secret North Korean bank account, gloriously choreographed fights that go insanely over the top, febrile tension and doomy romance (but no sex).".
? Craig Seligman, Bloomberg News.
