Summary: good, but falls short to shiri
Review: this was an entertaining movie that you'd just want to rent and relax for a night...there was a fair amount of action, not as non-stopped as the cover claims....if you haven't seen shiri yet, then i'd recommend watching that before you watch this movie...so who cares if it isn't original and the dvd case cover art is a rip-off from transporter...most action movies today aren't original any more...its more about presentation when it comes to action movies...actors who played jay and T were excellent...my major gripe is the girl...if anything, she was more annoying and some of her lines were very corny...supposedly she's the main star's girlfriend but sure doesn't come off that way....the other criticism is the special forces or swat team in this movie...there's like two bad guys and like 30-50 special forces and they all get slaughtered? i know its an action flick and there's gonna be some exaggerated elements to it, but even this movie went to far to show the ineptness of the special forces...even shiri was a little more plausible w/ the special forces although they get their butts kicked too by a few guys, but not to the degree as with this movie...still, in the end, it was fun to watch despite the story dulling cuz of the girl

Summary: TUBE
Review: Woon-Hak Baek did NOT direct OR write "Shiri". "Tube" is his first and only film. The DVD cover for the R1 release of "Tube" from Columbia is therefore confusing, because it is misleading.
Otherwise though, this is a high-action movie that is worth at least a rental. Bae Du-na is wonderful as usual. However, there are many much better films coming out of South Korea these days that deserve more attention. Unfortunately, US companies seem to be mainly interested in action movies. Too bad.
