It practically killed the action suspense mood so when it finally came back on track near the end, it was already too late for the viewer to go back to that high paced mood. It was unavoidable that some explanations would be inserted, like the main character’s background and reasons for vengeance but that drama was clearly overdone.

The second half was so slow which disabled the fast-paced impact of the first half to persist.

If this film was 30 or even 20 minutes shorter then things would’ve been absolutely better. For an action-thriller that problem can be a killer, The Suspect obviously fell prey to the usual Asian films’ shortcoming: The screenwriting is frequently unable to handle the running time making it incoherent with plot elements. This film’s main issue was its over-length. Moreover, the violence, the bloody killings and many hand-to-hand combats were highly involving. The car chase scenes were absolutely one of the better car scenes I’ve ever seen. Many characters and events were thrown in an immense amount which felt quite entertaining and eye-catching. Heck, it was even hard to follow subtitles.

It was fast-paced and too packed that it doesn’t allow you to blink an eye. The Suspect didn’t disappoint but it could’ve been way better than this.įollowing the usual espionage formula with spies, vengeance, betrayal and secrets this film managed to stay intense for a very long time. Rewatch Value 4.0 When I am in the mood for an action thriller (which is practically all the time), I usually turn to Korean films because they experienced a significant growth in regards of that genre.
