The Hunt
Hunt
In 1980, South Korea's new president, Chun Doo-hwan, imposed a military dictatorship by forcefully suppressing civilians.
This move provoked public outrage, and people marched in protest and even burned Chun Doo-hwan's dummy to demand that the government be returned to the people.
There was public anger inside and strong enemies outside, and at that time, North Korea was also eyeing the turbulent situation in South Korea and waiting for an opportunity.
Old Park, played by Lee Jung-jae, and Old Kim, played by Jeong Woo-sung, are half of South Korea's national security ministry and Chun Doo-hwan's right and left arm. Lao Park is in charge of overseas affairs, and Lao Jin is in charge of domestic affairs. But there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and these two people are-for-tat everywhere.
(Left Lao Park, Right Old Jin)
On this day, the two followed the president to Washington, D.C., and before the president could enter the door, the intelligence bureau overheard that there would be a terrorist attack!
I don't have to think much about the gunshots. The two immediately rushed to the scene of the incident and engaged in a fierce gun battle with the murderer.
The murderer took advantage of the littering to throw a smoke bomb to take Lao Pu hostage, Lao Jin shot the murderer to save the hostage, Lao Pu asked him why he did not even leave a living mouth, but Lao Jin was furious, who let you be a hostage, the relationship that was not compatible once again worsened.
This assassination is no accident, the president was informed by the enemy before he arrived, indicating that the Ministry of State Security had spies, and the only person who knew about it was killed by Old Kim, and the clue was interrupted.
In order to quell the assassination case and to give an account to the unsolved North Korean senior spy case, the director of the intelligence bureau arbitrarily took a North Korean prisoner and beat him into confessing, disguised himself as a senior spy Donglin, and reported to his superiors that Donglin was dead.
The overseas intelligence bureau called this evening, and North Korea and Japan will hold informal talks, in which one of the senior officials wants to leave the North and wants to seek South Korean help, in exchange, the senior official will turn in the list of personnel who developed nuclear weapons and the intelligence of spy Donglin. His superiors asked Park to go to Japan to bring back the senior officials.
On the night of Lao Park's arrival in Japan, he received a call from a high-ranking official, who revealed that the North Korean side had known the news of the 417 landing in advance, and tonight's defection operation was temporarily canceled!
It turned out that in order to collect North Korean nuclear intelligence, South Korea secretly organized Unit 417 to prepare to land in North Korea tonight.
Hearing the news, Lao Park immediately informed Lao Jin to stop the 417 landing, it was too late, the North Korean side had been waiting for a long time, and the 417 army was completely destroyed.
The next day, Lao Park and his subordinate Chief Yang went to pick up senior officials back to Korea, Lao Park was responsible for escorting senior officials, and Chief Yang was responsible for escorting the wives and daughters of senior officials.
Seeing that the high-ranking official was about to get on the bus when he came out of the hotel, Chief Yang disobeyed the order to pick up the high-ranking official first, he wanted to take the lead in getting spy information, and threatened the high-ranking official, without saying the information about spy Donglin, he could not get on the car!
The senior official could only say the information, turned around and the North Korean personnel found the senior official who wanted to leave the north, immediately pulled out a gun and shot it, the senior official was shot, and Yang Section Chief was besieged.
When Lao Pu saw that the high-ranking official was dead and his family was no longer safe, he drove to rescue Section Chief Yang, who was shot unconscious, and the clue to the identity of the senior spy was broken again!
The returning Lao Pu was furious, he rushed into the director's office, slapped the bureau chief down, and angrily rebuked him for giving different orders to himself and Chief Yang in this operation, causing the failure of the operation to protect the senior officials Yang Section Chief to lose consciousness, and the entire army of 417 was destroyed.
Lao Park threw the evidence of the director in his face and demanded the resignation of the director of the straw bale.
The director who was caught in the handle could only resign, and soon the intelligence bureau ushered in a new director, he was the commander of the old Jin army period, the new officer took office three fires, he knew that Donglin was not dead, his first task in office was to eliminate Donglin first to remove obstacles for the president.
The overseas affairs headed by Lao Park formed the object of his primary suspicion, and he asked Lao Jin to thoroughly investigate the party led by Lao Park, and Lao Jin did so overnight.
Hearing about this, Lao Pu rushed to let Old Jin immediately let go of his men, and just as the two were fighting with their swords, the air defense siren above their heads suddenly sounded!
It turned out that the North Korean rebels broke through the air defense and flew planes to surrender. As a bargaining chip, the rebels spoke of the latest ways to decipher North Korean intelligence and that there were new North Korean spies in the Ministry of State Security.
The director of the bureau took aim at Lao Jin, and he asked Lao Park to conduct a 48-hour comprehensive review of Lao Jin. In this way, the inner ghost is removed.
So who are the spies, Lao Park and Lao Jin?
The intelligence of the president's visit to Japan was leaked again, and Lao Jin found from the intercepted secret report that Dong Lin's handwriting was very similar to Lao Park, and Lao Jin opened a 24-hour surveillance of Lao Pu.
Soon he discovers that Lao Pu has met with a woman, and Lao Jin suspects that this woman is Donglin Tongdang Qianbaoshan, and immediately grabs her and tortures her to force a confession.
Lao Park witnessed all this outside the interrogation room, and the woman was Xiao Zhao, the daughter of his dead intelligence officer, who had been raising her to school since the agent's death and treating her like a daughter.
Seeing this, he broke through the door and confronted the old Jin outside the interrogation room, and he understood that entering the interrogation room without accounting was not trying to get out alive.
He pretended to question Xiao Zhao, took the opportunity to drop the monitor on the ground, and told Xiao Zhao that he must say nothing to take him out safely.
The news from the hospital that Chief Yang, who had been unconscious, woke up, and Chief Yang, as the only person who knew Donglin's clues, who first learned the news of Donglin from his mouth, could take the lead in capturing Donglin.
Lao Pu immediately rushed to the hospital, but he did not expect that the door had already been blocked by the old golden centaurs, and just when the two sides were fighting, Chief Yang was actually shot by snipers!
Fortunately, before he was shot, it was North Korean officer Lee Yong-su who had contacted Donglin in 1982, who had visited Japan to contact Donglin.
Now you only need to find out who has been to Japan according to the exit records to find out who is Donglin.
On the other hand, Lao Pu found out that Lao Jin was related to the illegal fund-raising case of the military supply enterprise Mu Chengshe, and had close contacts with the top level of Mu Chengshe, and Lao Pu immediately arrested the representative of Mu Chengshe and tried to make him confess to the conspiracy with Lao Jin.
That night, King met with the director of the U.S. Intelligence Service, who gave him a plane ticket to the United States and asked him to stop Peter's plan.
At the same time, Pao's men also found a recording of Old Kim before taking office, which mentioned that Peter's plan was to assassinate the president!
No employee of the Ministry of Security and Enterprise had an exit record when Lee Yong-so visited Japan, so who did Lee Yong-so contact with?
Immediately after the subordinates found that a name appeared in the information is very familiar, this name is the fake name she personally gave Lao Park to visit the United States last year to make a passport, Lao Pu used a fake name passport did not go to the United States but went to Japan, Lao Park is Donglin!
His identity was exposed, and he could only endure the pain of strangling his subordinates!
The eavesdropper quickly reported all this to Lao Jin, who immediately drove after him.
Lao Park gave the information that the president was about to visit Thailand to the connector, and on the way back, he bumped into Xiao Yang, a subordinate of Lao Jin, and when Xiao Yang and him mediated, a group of people knocked the two unconscious and dragged them into the basement.
This gang tortured Lao Pu and shot Xiao Yang in front of him!
It turned out that they were a gang of spies in North Korea, and the singing was to test Lao Park's loyalty to North Korea.
A female spy dressed in red came out, and she asked Lao Park to participate in the plan to attack South Korea to achieve reunification.
Lao Park firmly disagrees, which runs counter to his undercover plan to achieve peaceful reunification in South Korea for 13 years.
People who can't serve North Korea can't live, and the female spy raises her gun and tries to shoot Donglin.
At this time, the car of Old Jin and the others crashed into the basement! The female spy immediately ignited the secret report and turned around to kill Lao Pu, the abandoned son, but Lao Jin killed the female spy and saved Lao Pu!
Why did Kim Sr. save North Korean spies, and why did he assassinate the president?
In order not to affect everyone's viewing experience, the rest of the part please enjoy it yourself!
Overall, as the first film directed by Lee Jeong-jae, it definitely deserves a score of 7.6! The camera performance is enough tension, the action scenes are thrilling, the special effects are realistic, the plot design also has quite a taste of the reversal of the "Squid Game", like the "Squid Game" type and reverse spy action scenes of friends, I recommend everyone to watch!
