    Insipid and flat actioner that feels as cheesy as some straight-to-DVD american action flick with Van Damme. Not even the "Lost" chick helps to make this watchable.

    Interesting film, but is a bit lengthy.

    There are rarely any good science-fiction movies in South Korea, and it still doesn?t have any still. Yesterday on the other hand has little much about science fiction at all but more of a cop drama? with a complicated plot.

    The year is 2020. 30 years ago, an incident occur wher...( read more)e children were kidnap and done experiment on them. Something went wrong and now, a serial killer is on the loose and killing a group of scientist that is related to a project a long time ago. When a special forces takes on the case, it leads to a cat and mouse game that will lead to a climatic finale.

    While watching the movie, half way through it became complicated as the story was told in forms of clues that doesn?t make much sense. As it involves the main villain with the main hero and the damsel of distress, how these 3 connected is a mystery that still yet explain well. Thoroughly, it is an interesting film but without the science fiction as a backdrop, the movie will make it good without any problems.

    An okay movie with a complicated plot that may give you a bit of confusion.

    From what I hear, this is Yunjin Kim's finest work. Unlike Sun Kwon, Kim plays a bounty hunter. Word has it, this is a Blade Runner ripoff. All the more reason to see it.

    It's a decent scifi flick but killing all the interesting characters just made me angry by the end of the movie. I still don't understand the whole story behind the two main characters at the end.

    A really cool film that makes you sit up and pay attention. Great story and great action. See it.

    It was the hardest film to follow I had ever experienced, from start to finish nothing was explained and the whole film came across as one big confusing mess. Visually it looked good, but without a coherent narrative, it's not worth making such a movie.

    Looks pretty kick ass. Yunjin Kim is in it, sweet, she's really pretty. If you're wondering, it's Sun off of Lost. I LOVE LOST! <3
