I was always taught not to judge a book by its cover... unfortunately, the sucky poster put me off of this film for way too long. Luckily, I happened upon the trailer and thought, "Damn, that looks cool!"

The film follows a talented climber who hasn't been able to find a job. Korea being the way it is, that kind of makes him a loser, despite the fact that the very opening scene shows his sheer will power and talent. We then get to know him as being polite, caring and... well, not the loser a lack of employment paints him as. I mean: I'd hire a bloke like that!

Going to a family party, he meets the love of his life, who had previously turned down his advances, as she was probably too worried about ruining their friendship to escalate things. She's beautiful and a great climber herself - which is just as well, because a terrorist attack unleashing poisonous gas on the city means that the pair have to keep climbing, higher and higher, until they can be rescued.

I can't recommend this film enough! It has action, suspense, pure unselfish heroism and it kept me engaged on an emotional level that is surprising for the genre.

The stinker of a film poster/cover literally reads, EXIT, but trust me: once you get into this, you'll love it.
