Netflix’s New Bond Meets Wick Action Thriller ‘Humint’ Shoots to Success

by

The streaming release of this action-packed spy thriller is already a huge success, climbing into the top 10 within a day of its debut. It’s easy to see why – the movie delivers thrilling action sequences, intense espionage, and even a touch of romance, appealing to a wide range of viewers. The film’s exciting style rivals that of classic action heroes.

Ryoo Seung-wan’s new action thriller, Humint, is now streaming with subtitles in 33 languages (like French, German, and Chinese) and dubbed in 21 (including English, Spanish, and Japanese). The film follows a South Korean spy sent to Russia to take down a drug operation. His mission gets complicated when he clashes with a North Korean agent, and both find themselves in danger as they uncover a web of secrets. “Humint” is actually the term for real-life covert intelligence gathering.

‘Humint’ Brings an Unofficial Action Trilogy to an End

The new spy film Humint is gaining popularity worldwide, currently ranking at #8 globally. It’s quickly climbing the charts and is expected to break into the top 10 in the United States soon. It now appears alongside other popular titles like 40 Acres, War Machine starring Alan Ritchson, Mardaani 3, and Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man – featuring Cillian Murphy – which remains the #1 film.

Featuring Zo In-sung (known from Moving and Escape from Mogadishu) as a South Korean intelligence agent and Park Jeong-min (Hellbound, Time to Hunt) as a North Korean security officer pursuing him, Humint concludes director Ryoo Seung-wan’s thrilling trilogy of films shot on location abroad. This series began with the 2013 spy movie The Berlin File (available on Netflix) and continued with the 2021 political thriller Escape from Mogadishu (streaming on Prime Video or The Roku Channel). Now that Humint is available, it’s the perfect time to enjoy this incredibly exciting action series.

Critics Praised Ryoo Seung-Wan’s “Distinct” Action Style

The South Korean action movie Humint, released in February, is a thrilling ride full of unexpected twists, secret motives, and intense conflicts. It’s hard to categorize into just one genre, blending action with other elements. Though it hasn’t gotten much attention yet – it doesn’t even have a score on Rotten Tomatoes – Humint is likely to become much more popular now that it’s available on Netflix.

Critics are loving Humint! They’re calling it a fantastic spy thriller that beautifully blends the action style of John Woo with elements of neo-noir and Western films. Many say director Ryoo Seung-wan has reached a new high point, delivering a classic and elegant action experience, especially in the film’s thrilling, hour-long climax. So, don’t hesitate – go see it!
