Synopsis :
Banking on boy-band hottie T.O.P. in the role of a North Korean agent infiltrating a South Korean high school, “Commitment” makes just about all the right moves in its blend of espionage thriller and teen-idol drama. Tyro helmer Park Hong-soo handles wall-to-wall action, political intrigue and adolescent love with a relentless efficiency that befits his protagonist, even if the execution can feel as methodical as that of a killer checking off a hit list. Still, young female viewers may be too busy swooning over T.O.P. (in dual roles of awesome assassin and knight in shining armor) to quibble with the predictable storyline. Though domestic B.O. has been middling, distributor Showbox already hit paydirt by preselling to the U.S., Europe and eight Asian countries.
