What they share

Both films are directed by Kim Young-jun, and they sit in Action territory. If that's the register that drew you to Out Live, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Athena: Goddess of War is

Autumn mist over Seoul’s Namsan Tower. Glass elevators rise through a new anti-terror nerve center, its walls lined with defectors’ dossiers. One file lands on Jung-Woo’s desk—North Korean defector, code Athena. His orders: watch, not act. Kim Young-jun and Kim Tae-hun, 2011, Korean action-thriller whose hero spends more time stamping paperwork than throwing punches.
