- Synopsis:
Inchon, Korea. Citizens run for cover in the pouring rain while the mysterious Sungmin (Ahn Sung-Ki) walks up Forty Steps and stabs another man to death. He disappears with a briefcase full of cash while his accomplices finish off the dead man's subordinate. The police investigation reveals an underground drug world at war. Detective Woo (Park Joong-Hoon) is the determined police detective who pursues the elusive Sungmin in a chase through the maze of the city streets and hideaways. Along the way, Woo and his men hunt down the nefarious figures of the drug world. They also find Jugo (Choi Ji-Woo), the woman who loves Sungmin.

Jazzed-up Bore - Nowhere to Hide review by Alphaville
A Korean pulp gangster movie that’s such an over-edited mish-mash of jump-cut images (slo-mo, stills, silhouette etc.) that it alienates from the first frame. The director was apparently trying to make a film about “movement” rather than story or character, so he must shoulder all the blame. No doubt it’s meant to be edgy and cool, but it just comes across as amateur and tiresome.
