Berlin Film Festival Executive Chairman Tricia Tuttle raised the atmosphere on the scene by sending a generous judge saying, "We were just surprised by the overwhelming performance."
The favorable reviews of leading foreign media who watched the movie are also better than expected. ScreenDaily is a strange blend of intense action and emotional elements, and orchestral music is overwhelming. The main character in his 60s is impressive enough to catch the attention of the movie industry. The last scene is fascinating among the numerous action scenes, he said, adding that he received favorable reviews encompassing directing, acting, action, and music.
The Hollywood Reporter was pleased with the work of veteran director Mingyu-dong, who conquered all genres, an action film about meditation on the loneliness of aging, and Variety's 're-mixing familiarity in a new way'.
