Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The film often churns with the pleasure that visual stimulation can provide and more affection for the bang-bang techniques than you're likely to see in the movies of music-video directors simply making the jump to the big screen.
Fresh: Reveals that in Lee Myung-Se Korea has a filmmaker with enough razzle-dazzle and visceral appeal to rival Hong Kong's -- and Hollywood's -- John Woo.
Rotten: This is flash in the service of nothing, the proverbial sow's ear doing an indifferent imitation of a silk purse.
Rotten: Nowhere to Hide may not be devoid of substance, but beneath the virtuoso finish it's rotten to the core.

Subtitled or Dubbed?
I don't want to buy this if it's dubbed into English; I only want the original Korean version with English subtitles. Does anyone know for sure which version this is? Thanks.
