Escape from Mogadishu
This film really shows how political life works. In this movie, everything feels like a dilemma between preserving dignity and simply staying alive. Every action is political, shaped by necessity and calculation, yet the sense of humanity that comes from conscience cannot be denied. This is part of political life; heavy, tense, and far from easy.

On a lighter note, I keep wondering why Koo Kyo-hwan always ends up playing someone from North Korea seriously, how does he keep getting these roles? 😂

Lo cierto es que me esperaba más, teniendo en cuenta lo bien que me la habían puesto. Aún así es un thriller político que funciona bastante bien, sobretodo cuando los dos representantes de ambas Coreas tienen que colaborar y trazan un plan juntos.
