“Humint,” the latest film from acclaimed director Ryoo Seung-wan, is set to make its global debut on Netflix on March 31.
This highly anticipated project features a star-studded cast led by Jo In-sung and Shin Se-kyung, bringing a gripping story of espionage and shifting alliances to a worldwide audience.
After a successful run in Korean theaters, the film will now be accessible in over 190 countries, offering subtitles in 33 languages and dubbing in 21 languages to ensure a seamless viewing experience for fans across the globe.
Set in Vladivostok, the film follows four characters whose paths cross in the city in search of leads tied to a series of incidents along the North Korea-Russia border. With their own motives and pasts, they become entangled in a dangerous web of hidden agendas and escalating confrontations.
Even before its theatrical release, “Humint” drew strong anticipation as the latest project from Ryoo Seung-wan, the director behind “Smugglers,” “Escape from Mogadishu,” and “Veteran.”
While Ryoo’s signature direction provides a gritty foundation, the film’s pulse is driven by a powerhouse ensemble. The cast features Jo In-sung, beloved for his role in the hit K-drama “Moving,” alongside Park Jeong-min, who recently starred in “The 8 Show.” They are joined by Park Hae-joon of “When Life Gives You Tangerines” and Shin Se-kyung, who recently led “Captivating the King.”
These four actors portray characters linked by complex relationships and emotional arcs, where their clashes build to intense, up-close conflicts. From raw, bare-knuckle fights to gunfights and high-speed car chases, the film showcases a range of action styles that reflect each character’s personality.
Filmed in Latvia, the striking location vividly captures the chilling, wintry atmosphere of Vladivostok, grounding the characters’ emotional journeys. Packed with electrifying action, poignant romance, and a powerhouse ensemble, “Humint” premieres globally on Netflix on March 31.
