The movie
Betrayed by his country, an elite North Korean spy is accused of a murder he did not commit. He must accept the help of a journalist in order to restore the truth, while avoiding the repeated attacks of security forces. With this action packed movie, Won Shin-yeon proves once again that Koreans remain the undisputed masters of the crime thriller. Punctuated by breathless chase scenes, The Suspect is Korea’s answer to The Bourne Identity.
