Movie Review- Jackal is Coming

Jackal is Coming or Cokdename: Jackal, starring JYJ's Jaejoong and Song Ji-hyo.
Plot (taken from AsianWiki): A not so smart female killer (Song Ji-Hyo) is hired to kill a popular singer (Youngwoong Jaejoong). The killer then kidnaps the popular singer and tries to kill him in a bold manner which the customer requested, but the police arrive ...

I watched this movie because of Jaejoong, he was what attracted me. This movie was more comedy than romance, there's actually not a lovey dovey thing going on between the two main characters. Also Song Ji-hyo doesn't look as pretty as the poster throughout the whole movie, in fact I did not like her image at all. But it made sense at the end so I wasn't bothered with it.


Jaejoong played a popular singer named Choi Hyun. The typical sort of stuck-up guy and think he is all that and he was kidnapped by a newbie assassin at this horrible hotel.


The whole movie basicly took place at the hotel. The cops are trying to catch "Jackal", name of the assassin that was going to show up there. So we have these undercover cops camped there too.


They really add to the comedy, I love the cops, they were hilarious. Choi Hyun is obviously trying to escape from the newbie assassin, but everything goes wrong and he is just stuck in her hands. Turns out she was hired by his ex-gf, they dated before he debuted. Then they broke up after he shot into fame. Besides the assassin, there is also this crazy-psycho fan that is stalking Choi Hyun. She was just scary. Girl, you beloing in a mental hospital.
Also the reason Choi Hyun went to that crappy hotel was to meet up with his...lover.
Yush, that lady who is waaaaaay older than him. Yuck. There was a scene between them that completely grossed me out. Poor Jaejoong.

At the end, there is a huge twist in the story. I like the movie, not a super duper amazing one but worth watching. There's way more to the story than what I have mentioned and I hope I didn't spoil too much. Do watch it if you are a Jaejoong fan, his acting was really good in here. Have fun :)
