The Yellow Sea (2010)

In the pulse-pounding thriller, The Yellow Sea, the narrative plunges into the seemingly mundane life of a taxi driver rooted in Yanji, a corner of northeast China's Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. A gripping tale unfolds when a local mobster presents him with a dangerous, albeit tempting, proposition - an assassination assignment in South Korea. The reward? A clean slate from his crippling debts. Yet, the mission carries a dual purpose for our protagonist. South Korea also holds traces of his wife, who disappeared six months prior, leaving behind nothing but an eerie silence. As suspicion of her infidelity clouds his mind, the tension bristles, leading to a critical juncture on the night designated for the professor's assassination. However, what unfolds is far from what he anticipated. Suddenly, he is a pawn in a deadly game, hunted relentlessly by the law enforcement and underworld alike. The once tranquil taxi driver finds himself embroiled in a whirlwind of brutal combat and adrenaline-fueled car pursuits. The Yellow Sea is not just a tale of survival, but a descent into a labyrinth of treachery and unexpected turns, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats.

The Yellow Sea is a crime movie featuring Ha Jung-woo and directed by Na Hong-jin.
