Hwang Jung-min is the Korean top movie star. He did it all - he wins major awards, he lands major roles and all his movies are blockbusters. 

After a VIP movie premiere, Hwang Jung-min decides to drive himself home. He stops at a convenient store, as he always do, to take his medicine there before he leaves his car there and walks home. 

That particular night, three guys were admiring his car. He stops and talks to them, politely asking them to be gentle with his car. Immediately recognises him, Choi Ki-wan asks for a selfie, to which Hwang politely declines. 

He walks home. Just as he approaches his place, a lorry stops abruptly beside him and captures him.

When he comes to, he first thought that the kidnapping is a prank. But later, when he recognises another hostage in the room as a girl reported missing by the news, he learns that he has to rescue both of them, just like in his movies.

Choi Ki-wan and his gang of bandits want to get paid, before releasing the hostage. 

Can he really apply the survival skills from his movies to rescue himself and the girl?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.6/ 5.0 I was forced to guess whether Hwang and the girl will survive the ordeals, at every junction of the movie. 

And not all the moves in the movies could save you in a real life situation - that's the take-home message from the movie.

Cast: 4.7/ 5.0 Great delivery by all!

Will I Watch It Again: Yes.
