I read somewhere that the original was better and that if you liked it, you would find this one falls short to expectations. So, if you're planning on watching something that copies or exceeds the original, consider yourself forewarned.

Since I have not seen the original, I have to say I really enjoyed it. Then again, it was the first time I watched an all-action-packed Korean film.

The relationship between the main characters and the lengths they go through to show us the meaning of loyalty and "family," while everyone gets beat up, shot or blown up was surprising. Never thought I would feel emotional watching something like it.

The end...well...makes you glad it is finally over. I think it deserved a better finale and that the director just got tired and wrapped everything up by deciding to have everyone act out of character.

I don't really believe that the "rewatch" value should be considered as "brilliant", but I would watch it again.
