V.I.P.

V.I.P. (브이아이피, 2017) is a South Korean crime thriller directed by Park Hoon-jung — watch it online on iFILM. Jang Dong-gun and Peter Stormare lead a cast caught in a cross-border manhunt that nobody is allowed to officially conduct.

A son of a senior North Korean official has been killing young women across multiple countries. He's fully aware he's untouchable — his father's rank makes every investigation disappear before it starts. When a matching string of murders surfaces in Seoul, disgraced detective Chae Yi-do is handed the case: pulled from suspension, known for a perfect clearance rate and a habit of going too far. South Korean police, Interpol and North Korean intelligence are all after the same man at the same time, for entirely different reasons, and none of those reasons have much to do with justice.

Park Hoon-jung, who wrote I Saw the Devil, brings the same cold logic here — the system isn't broken, it's operating exactly as intended when the suspect has the right last name. Stream V.I.P. online on iFILM.
