Review of The Spy Gone North (2018) by Heng L — 05 Sep 2018
I cannot recommend The Spy Gone North highly enough. It took me time to warm up to it because of the cultural unfamiliarity and language barrier, but once I got immersed into the plot, it was enjoying the masterful suspense all the way.
Many important themes explored here: the dual identities juggled by the spy and the emotional toll it takes on him; the complext layers of political intrigue, manipulation and deception; the difficulty in pinpointing just who's a hero and who's a villain; and the notion of self-sacrifice and brotherhood.
I particularly appreciated at how these themes were unravelled in front of me in the midst of much welcomed moments of hilarity. Thought-provoking and funny makes for a potent combination, and I guarantee you that you will be kept riveted throughout this entire movie!
