Excellent movie!! by Shregalika (US)  5 Stars
November 26, 2009
This is a superb movie! The action scenes are violent, graphic and REALISTIC. Yes, hurray for cool action sequences that are actually Solidly Realistic!!
Beyond Hypothermia has a good story and an interesting main character. The character features an attractive female assassin, naturally this is appealing but the movie goes deeper than that. It is a drama as well as an action thriller.
It's a very good movie and has allot of what I look for in films.
It does have a very, very brief innappropriate scene(not involving the main character of the movie) which I could have done without but other than that this is a superb, touching and compelling action movie with realistic and violent action that's graphically portrayed.
I won't give the movie away but this movie doesn't have a typical Hollywood ending. This movie, is of course, exponentially better than most of what Hollywood churns out and makes the big bucks on via dumb, tasteless people easily impressed by fancy explosions and big slamb bang action. Down with the mainsteam!
Anyway, this is a superb, excellent good movie.
Highly recommended!!

The Korean's answer to "La Femme Nikita" by E. Brummer (Los Angeles) 5 Stars
January 01, 2007
Asian cinema keeps getting better and I give this movie five stars. Compared to "Point of no return" influenced by the original "La Femme Nikita". Beyond Hypothermia captures the gritty French noir look and feel that "Point of no return" couldn't. By no means is "Beyond Hypothermia" a remake of La femme Nikita but it takes the same plot of the lonely female assasin being burnt out on the job then falls for a man that knows nothing about her and this puts everything in jepordy. What makes this one interesting is the fact that it was shot in a country that has a different spin on it's culture towards women, which would probably explain why this fully independent soldier would fall for a simple modest noodle maker. The action is top notch as well as the cinematography and the story skips her beginnings (unlike La Femme Nikita) giving her character a more mysteious quality about her.

Remarkable by (Mr.) N. Sean Wright (Whiteville, NC USA) 5 Stars
June 22, 2005
Although the plot of this movie is very familiar
(a lone female assassin finally starts to feel
true emotions when she meets a "normal" guy
and then decides that she wants to leave the business)
"Beyond Hypothermia" sets a high standard for
run-of-the-mill assassin films. There is a
superb balance between drama and action in
this movie. The dramatic portions never come
across as forced, poorly written melodrama.
The action scenes appear to be even,fluid extensions
of the drama. The cinematography is Oscar quality,
in my opinion. At every turn, there are unique little
elements that grab the eye and hold your attention like something you may seen a
million times but all of a sudden it strikes you as brand new.
This movie was smartly designed and written.
The ending is a pain parade, and that's putting
it lightly. It's extremely violent, but surprisingly, not
saddening. In fact, it's almost refreshing because,
in a way, everyone got exactly what they were
seeking. You'll have to watch the movie to
fully appreciate how this is so.

Try something different by Kimberley Wilson (VA USA)  3 Stars
June 04, 2005
Beyond Hypothermia is the story of dainty looking hitwoman. She's never led a normal life and is characterized by both her ice cold nerves and a perfect assassin's body that is colder than normal.
And then one day she meets a guy. A regular guy who's not handsome or rich or powerful but is sweet and funny and good. And he owns a noodle shop. He loves her, wants to get her out of her deadly life and is willing to leave his home and business to be with her. He's a regular guy but when his beloved is in trouble he rises to heroism. The audience really comes to like him. This is her one big chance to live happily ever after and she decides to take it.
But of course there's a problem. A bodygaurd who was hired to protect her last hit is after her. He's so implacable about doing his job that he doesn't even spare his father-in-law when it turns out the old man was the one who ordered the hit. Even the death of his wife doesn't slow this dude down. He won't stop tyring to get our heroine and he has the resources of an entire gang to back him up.
The ending of this movie is extremely bloody, violent and surprisingly touching in the way that only a movie made in Korea, Japan or Hong Kong can be. It's very, very good.
