remake of Eye In The Sky (2007) redressed in Korean clothing, Cold Eyes concerns undercover cops who blend in with the armed robbers they're pursuing, & organised criminals who are indistinguishable from crooked politicians and 'fat-ass executives'.

If you have never seen Eye in the Sky, this will simply be an effective and entertaining movie. If you have seen it, this is a fascinating example of how changing tone and style can transform the entire film.

Silly but serviceable, Cold Eyes offers up a watchable mix of action, thriller and crime drama. This is backed up good cast chemistry and well crafted, if somewhat implausible, characterisations. Definitely worth a look by Western viewers, if you don't mind subtitles or are fortunate enough, to speak Korean. .

It is a must watch, do watch it once at least. The acting is superb. Just started watching Korean movies and figured out that I was missing on a whole lot! I give it 7 star, would've given it a 10 but I'm biased in movies like this and the ending didn't meet my personal expectations. otherwise I do suggest to watch.
