First and foremost, as a kpop fan I would be lying to you if I told you that my interest in this film wasn't purely because of TOP's involvement. As a huge fan of Big Bang I'd been hearing about this film since he was cast as the lead role. So finally when I got an opportunity, (thanks to Netflix) to see it I was thrilled. That being said I feel that Dramalist's synopsis of the film is lacking, the short blurb at the top of this page doesn't even scratch the surface of this movie's storyline. I don't want to give to much away because I personally feel that a lot can be spoiled with a review that goes into too much detail. What I will say is that, if you're reading this, don't be scared away by the negative reviews. Anyone who says that this film is 'too all-over the place' obviously doesn't understand that, that is actually the point. "Commitment" takes place during 2011 which is during the time frame that power was shifting in North Korea due to the death of it's totalitarian dictator Kim Jung-Il. The chaos in the film is entirely on purpose to symbolize the kind of chaos that the two Koreas were going through as a result of this shift in power. Anyway, not to make this too long. TOP did a phenomenal job, this is the first time in his acting career that he's played a complex character and I was pleasantly surprised how well he did. This film is VERY action packed and by the climax of the story I was on the edge of my seat cheering for him. I will also say that this is a tear-jerker with a body count! I lost track of the deaths at 8! Overall I give it a 10 out of 10.
