Jun Ji-hyun Gets Back into Groove with 'The Thieves'
Published on | Source
The Korean heist film "The Thieves" attracted 2.11 million viewers as of last week, just four days after its release, to knock "The Dark Knight Rises" off its perch at the local box office. The only other domestic movies that have drawn over 2 million viewers in such a short space of time are the sci-fi slash-monster flicks "The Host" (2006) and "D-War" (2007).
Among the most-memorable characters in "The Thieves" is an agile, rope-climbing bandit called "Anycall", played by Jun Ji-hyun.
The slender thief scales building walls, not unlike Spider-man, and isn't afraid to spew out profanity-laden dialogue, contrary to the star's sexy but demure image in recent years.
