Confidential Assignment 2: International

I haven't seen the original film Gongjo/Confidential Assignment, but I did hear that it was a pretty average "turn your brain off and enjoy" action flick, so I went into this with zero expectations. I was actually hooked from beginning to end, as the action scenes were surprisingly satisfying, the music during said scenes got me pumped up, and the comic relief was very tastefully done. In a nutshell, I would describe it as a cross between "The Man From Nowhere" and "Extreme Job." As those are two of my favorite Korean flicks, I enjoyed this one very much and would recommend it to all action fans who also have an interest in Korean films.

I enjoyed the pace and comic tone of this comic action movie. Hyun Bin plays it mostly serious so it's good that we have Daniel Henney with his bilingual dialogue and Yoona's sweet crushes to provide some effective comic relief. The story is quite easy to follow too not convoluted and has a little international elements with 3 countries trying to catch the bad guy. The action sequences on high rise buildings and shoot outs from NYC to Seoul are all quite well choreographed and fresh enough. You might think you have seen enough Hollywood action scenes but the ones here are high standard. Everyone looks nice and slim compared to Hollywood and it's steroid pumped up looking heroes. A refreshing change.

Six years on from the success of the first buddy-buddy cop movie we get this follow-up, which expands the action to an international level. I felt that, on the whole, this film has the edge to its predecessor. The two main characters are back and their camaraderie feels more effortless, more natural here, and it helps that Hyun Bin's character comes across as less abrasive and more likeable too. There's a new American character who's okay, plus some returning others. You can tell that this is a bigger budget production because the action is more frequent and more explosive, while the choreography continues to impress. A slight but fun comedic thriller.

Highly disappointing. Each and every aspect associated with the movie feels unpolished and shallow, from acting to direction and from music to storyline. It's prequel was much much better compared to this, this movie is just unable to hold on to the legacy and charm of its predecessor. The most disappointing factor out of all was storyline. Baseless and senseless and logicless. Entire movie you struggle to understand what is happening. The director also seems confuse. Randomly placed scenes give this movie a unstructured dimension. Had High Hopes and expectations from this one considering the level of promotion and offcourse the cast, but fails to engage and satisfy audience. Could have been done in a much much better manner.

If u ask first part or second part ....i will tell first part...its unique....more thriller or good action ...but this also a good movie...who like first want and ewant to see the charactee once more in screen...with a new usa character cool...watch it and worth...not a thriller or crucial like first part....its enjoyable movie....some comdey scene work well possesiveness...but the topic or mainscenaario is okayish....dont expect the movie like first part ...this movie for people who like the characters misses them...wat to see the characters back on the screen...enjoying bond brother hood between them.

This was the type of movie I was extremely looking forward to. I really enjoyed watching the first Confidential Assignment so I was really excited for this one as well. The entire cast did an amazing job playing their characters. The chemistry between Hyun Bin, Yoo Hae Jin, and Daniel Henney was really good with their comedic acting. I was finally happy they gave Im Yoon Ah a bigger role compared to when she was in the first one because in the first one, she wasn't in it for very long and it was one her first time acting in a movie. The villain Jin Sun Kyu played was spot on and this guy showed people that he can play any type of characters. The movie was fun to watch, the action scenes were coordinated good, but I did feel like this movie focused too much on the comedy. There were some comedies that felt a bit forced and childish. Despite the forced comedies, if you want to see some buddy cop comedy action film, this movie is one of the ones to watch.
