Lee Myung-hoon‘s debut feature “Mission: Cross” has had a bit of a rocky road to its release. Firstly confirmed for a theatrical release in January of this year, it had to be postponed indefinitely to give grieving time to actress Jeon Hye-jin, who features in a prominent role here, following the untimely passing of her husband Lee Sun-kyun. For whatever reason, that led to the cancellation of its theatrical release and Netflix picked it up for itself, premiering it worldwide on their platform.

Directed by Lee Myung Hoon and starring Hwang Jung-min and Yum Jung-ah, Mission: Cross is an action comedy-drama centered around a former special agent and his detective wife. Even though the premise is similar to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the twists are interesting, the action sequences are well executed, and the comic relief works. Kang-mu was a dedicated stay-at-home husband who looked after his wife’s every need. Mi-seon was a cop who had previously won a silver medal for shooting in the Asian Games. While her husband managed the household chores, Mi-seon focused on putting the bad boys behind bars. Their opposite personalities complemented each other, and even though Mi-seon pretended not to care much about Kang-moo, deep down she loved him.
Spoiler Alert
Why did Kang-mu decide to help Hee-ju?
Kang-mu used to spend his mornings driving a school bus and the rest of his day managing his household chores.

I suppose it is the year of PG action comedies, with the likes of The Fall Guy making huge box office numbers for sheer giddy fun. If you read the script of the South Korean action-comedy Mission: Cross, you’d think it was yet another American spy film that would probably star an actor who should be retiring the action roles and playing dads instead, alongside a young and attractive female lead, who could probably be his daughter. I’m obviously joking, but there’s a certain pattern we’ve all observed, and it’s hard not to deny that Mission: Cross is very run-of-the-mill in that way, but it isn’t American, and that’s what makes all the difference. Before you come at me, I’m not a hater, maybe just a little bit biased.
