Program Note
A rookie Ha Yoon-joo, who has an outstanding memory, joins the special surveillance team led by chief Hwang. No criminal seemed to dare escape their gaze. However, there is an incident in which even their thorough encirclement has been neutralized. In just three minutes, without a hitch, a group of armed robbers robbed a large bank safe. James, the cruel leader of this criminal organization, never reveals his existence and considers all the cases and decides the beginning and end of the crime. He is like a god who controls everything in the world he has made. However, there is a fine crack in the world of crime he created, and just like James, the surveillance team monitors and predicts everything, squeezing in the crack. By avoiding unnecessary excessive action and the eruption of macho style, they yield breathless tension in a quiet confrontation between criminals and surveillants which are conscious of their existences. It is a successful remake of the Hong Kong film Eye in The Sky (2007) directed by Yau Nai-Hoi. (KIM Yong-eon)
