Mission: Cross 2024 Movie Review Trailer Poster

Kang-moo (Hwang Jung-min) is a stay-at-home husband who cooks and cleans, while his wife Mi-seon (Yeom Jung-ah) is a veteran member of the crime squad team who was once a silver medalist in shooting at the Asian Games.

A kind-hearted man, Kang-moo helps Mi-seon by letting go of his past as a former agent and keeping it a secret, until he accidentally bumps into his former agent colleague Hee-joo (Jeon Hye-jin).

Director: Lee Myung Hoon
Writer: Lee Myung Hoon
Stars: Dawn Anderson, Kim Chan-Hyung, Yoon Dae-yeol

After the encounter, he often loses contact and leaves the house in disarray. Mi-seon decides to chase him down one day in retaliation, only to learn that Kang-moo and Hee-joo are involved in a big case as partners.

A couple with secret pasts and each accidentally discovering the other's identity is nothing new in action comedy movies. This somewhat “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”-like setup allows the audience to stay engaged with the plot even as it moves along quickly.

The strong point of this action comedy is that it follows the formula with several cliché moments (the couple’s witty banter during a shootout and a car chase involving large trucks), meaning laughs are guaranteed. Like a popcorn movie, the flow is smooth and natural in “Mission: Cross.”

What elevates the charm of this film is the strong presence of veteran actors Hwang and Yeom.

Unlike the strong characters Hwang has shown in “Narco-Saints” and “12.12: The Day,” Kang-moo in “Mission: Cross” is a comic relief character that audiences have been waiting for from Hwang. He proves that he can not only digest such a role, but also make it look special on screen.

Meanwhile, Mi-seon shows off an impeccable action sequence and Yeom, With his long arms and graceful movements, he performs acrobatic jumps and also fires weapons with skill. Considering that “Mission: Cross” is being released through Netflix, the film may also attract global audiences in Southeast Asia or Europe.

A Minecraft Movie 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

If you were to throw a bucket in Hollywood today, you could easily find a dozen video game adaptations in development, either as TV series or movies. They're all vying for the same thing: critical acclaim, huge box office revenue, or a sudden surge in streaming subscribers thanks to established fandoms. But it's a long shot: Will they become a "Borderlands" movie flop or a "Last of Us" hit? Next month, Legendary Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Microsoft are going for box office gold with a different kind of game-to-movie adaptation: "A Minecraft Movie."

There are three main types of Star Wars stories. There's the kind where you write whatever you want and call it Star Wars, common in the many novels published in the 1990s. There's the kind where you recycle existing Star Wars stories and make them familiar; this has been the primary way of doing things at Disney. But finally, there are the stories that enthusiastically use Star Wars as a setting to create something new. There have been several novels that fit that profile, as did the first season of Andor, and now, four episodes in, it looks like the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, set a century before the movies, also fits the bill. in that category. . The Acolyte centers on a pair of twins, Osha and Mae (both played by Amandla Stenberg). The girls were raised by an unaffiliated coven of Force users, but despite living outside the Republic, the Jedi, including Carrie-Ann Moss's Indara, stuck their noses into these women's affairs, leading to the disaster.
