He goes by the name of Killa and he never speaks. He grew up an orphan and he spends his time watching bullfights, eating oysters, writing poetry and killing. He became an assassin in order to be able to pay for an operation which will bring back his voice. He makes up his own rules for his "work", killing only those with scary faces and bad manners. When Killa, She, a vagrant girl he meets in a bar, and a street kid form a strange kind of family, and Killa starts getting used to his new peaceful haven, he is given his last commission. This is a film about a total outsider who wants to find his place in the world and be somebody. It's a tilt on the combat films popular in South Korea and something of a response to the work of Tarantino and Jarmusch's Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. The main role in the film, with its bizarre locations, violence, light wit, irony and European classical music, is played irresistibly by Shin Ha-kyun, who cleverly portrays the two sides to his character – the hard-hitting assassin and the soul-stirring dreamer.

Strange movie. The story about a mute assassin sounds great, but this one was far from a pro, but a crazy klutz and introvert. So action-wise, it has nothing to offer. There is little action and it mostly ends with one knife stab in the gut. Or the scene where he walks into an apartment to take out four guys with guns and slips, falls and starts shooting at the ceiling? This smacks of comedy. I have to admit that the film kept my attention, there are some light moments (intense first sex) but I was expecting an action film, not a drama. Overrated.

Interesting movie. Can't say it was exactly my cup of tea, but it had a certain power. It's just a different expression of love. I had to laugh at times because there were some unforced funny moments, especially in the beginning, and the main character's thoughts were excellent too. Ha-kyun Shin is probably made for roles like this, but I'd like to see him in something more normal too. 3 stars, but it's not average.
