A debt collector finds out he has liver cancer. In order to live, he must get a liver transplant in the next 10 days from an ex-convict woman, who apparently has a matching organ. The woman agrees to donate part of her liver only if the debt collector tracks down the one responsible for putting her in prison.
Countdown is directed by Heo Jong-ho and stars Jeon Do-Youn (The Housemaid) and Jung Jae-Young (Public Enemy Returns).
Check out the trailer.
This is such a cool film, I watched it but the thing is I think the topic is not very original, I mean I have this feeling that I have watched this kind of films before….may be I am wrong but anyway..It is still good and definitely much better than many American movies.
South Korea really excels at these kinds of action-thrillers so it wouldn’t surprise me if some of them start to look alike.
