Cold Eyes



Cho Ui-seok & Kim Byung-seo : 2013
Gam-si-ja-deul

Ha Yoon-ju is the new recruit in Seoul's crack police surveillance team. As the murderously efficient criminal mastermind James stage-manages a heist from a watchful distance, Yoon-ju is tested by her new boss, Detective Hwang. She follows him through the city and is expected to see and remember, not only everything he does but also everything that occurs around him. In their line of work, perception is an asset to be honed to perfection. As James and his cohorts embark on the proverbial one last job, Hwang's team is determined to bring an end to James's activities. What Hwang doesn't know is that James's secret employer has plans of his own. Drawn from a seemingly infinite number of viewpoints, this crime thriller centres on the world of modern high-tech surveillance and its utility for both fighting crime and committing it. Cho Ui-seok and Kim Byung-seo's collaborative feature received its international premiere at Toronto International Film Festival 2013.
