“The only thing he must not have crossed.”
In The Yellow Sea, a destitute Korean migrant in China accepts a hitman’s contract in Seoul, hoping to locate his vanished wife and secure a fortune. When the mission goes awry, leaving a trail of corpses in its wake, he becomes a fugitive pursued by both law enforcement and his ruthless employers. Director Hong-jin Na’s crime thriller is a taut, atmospheric exercise in urban paranoia, where survival in a neon-lit underworld hinges on a split-second’s judgment.
