“Confidential Assignment” Theatrical Poster
CJ Entertainment is releasing Confidential Assignment (read our review), a South Korean detective film, on Google Play and iTunes today. It was released in the U.S. in January 2017 and recorded the third highest numbers at the Korean Box Office last year.
In Confidential Assignment, a North Korean investigator, Lim Cheol-ryeong, teams up with a South Korean detective, Gang Jin-tae, to find the man that stole North Korea’s ‘superdollar,’ a notorious, counterfeit American dollar printed by North Korea. The plates used to make the ‘superdollar’ are stolen by North Korean official, Cha Gi-seong, who fled to South Korea. In desperate need of help, North Korean officials contact the South Korean government and – without disclosing why they are looking for him – ask for help in locating Cha. South Korean officials agree to help, but they have their own agenda. Everyone wants to get their hands on Cha and maybe even those ‘superdollars’.
Confidential Assignment is directed by Kim Sung-hoon (A Wonderful Moment) and stars Hyun Bin (The Swindlers), Yoo Hai-jin (Veteran), the late Kim Joo-hyuck (Like for Likes), and Lim Yoon-a (The K2).
