SHIRI (1999)

North Korea's 8th Special Forces train highly effective, ruthless, and deadly agents that operate within South Korea's borders.  The most lethal of them all is a female sniper, Hee, whose identity has been revealed to the South Korean secret service.  It seems like Hee is stalking two South Korean agents, Ryu and Lee, and somehow she is constantly two steps before them.  However, this time it seems like Hee has made an error and has left a track behind, but the real question is why?  Shiri is a suspenseful tale of infiltration and espionage that tingles the nerves; however, there is slight inelegance in the story that downplays the complete cinematic experience.
