Sitges Review: 'The Spy Gone North' is a Gripping Korean Spy Thriller

Not all spy movies are like every other spy movie. And not all spies are the same. The Spy Gone North is an impressive, riveting spy thriller from Korea, made by filmmaker Yoon Jong-bin (of The Unforgiven, Beastie Boys, Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time, Kundo: Age of the Rampant). This first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in their Midnight category earlier this summer, but I just caught up with the film at the Sitges Film Festival. The more I think about, the more I love this film. It’s such a slick, superb spy film that draws you into the story and keeps you intrigued with anticipation, on the edge of your seat the entire time.
