The following contains spoilers for Hunt, now available on Blu-Ray, DVD and VOD.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the hit Netflix series Squid Game is how it catapulted some underrated Korean actors into the limelight. Lee Jung-jae is one example, with fans now eager to see his role in the Star Wars series, The Acolyte. Admittedly, the actor's been a tour de force in Asia for some time, but the mainstream push of Netflix goes a long way.

Interestingly, Jung-jae's directorial debut in Hunt is now available digitally and on Blu-ray, which paints a winding spy thriller. It nods to Mission: Impossible, the Jack Ryan movies and shows, as well as Charlie Cox's Treason. However, as Hunt moves along at a breakneck pace, it remixes two films not known for big political stories: The Departed and Training Day.

Hunt Remixes The Departed's Snitch Game

Martin Scorsese's 2006 award-winning TheDeparted had Leonardo DiCaprio's Billy as a cop inside a gang, with Matt Damon's Colin as the gang infiltrator hidden within the Boston police department. Both men had to figure out each other's identity in a cat-and-mouse game, planting traps. What made it dynamic was how they were often in the same place at the same time but couldn't catch each other.

Hunt follows a similar beat with Jung-jae's Park working for the Korean government and the KCIA. As Park, a James Bond-like figure, he handles the foreign affairs beat, while Jung Woo-sung's Kim leads the domestic unit. Both are chasing a mole inside the agency, Donglim, with Kim unable to decipher whether Donglim is actually Park. From the score to the alley chases and Park trying to hide evidence, Hunt homages a lot of The Departed when Billy tries to hunt Colin down.

However, there's a big twist as Kim is also a mole. He's a double agent for a local insurrectionist group who doesn't like South Korea's current president and how the Gwangju Uprising in the '80s had the current regime killing many protestors to silence folks seeking social justice. Kim thinks democracy died that day, so he's chasing Donglim as he doesn't want this mole and his North Korean spies endangering Kim's coup. It flips the snitch arc on its head, with both men realizing when the truth's out, they do have common goals. Ultimately, they partner up, remixing the story of Billy, who got killed after finally nabbing Colin.

Hunt Ends With a Training Day Homage

Detective Alonzo Harris gets surprised by Hoyt in Training Day

Sadly, when both work to assassinate South Korea's president, Park reneges on the deal. He thinks there'll be violence and not a peaceful attempt at reunification -- whether it's his North Koreans who want to invade or Kim's rebels who desire aggression in their takeover. The president survives a massacre in Bangkok, which sadly ends with Kim dying. But when Park slips away and reforges his life months later, the final nods to Antione Fuqua's Training Day.

Denzel Washington took home the Best Actor Oscar in 2001 for his role as a corrupt cop, Alonzo, in Los Angeles. The film concluded with his junior, Ethan Hawke's Jake, beating him up and taking stolen cash back to the precinct to indict Alonzo. But when Alonzo tried to flee town, the Russians he crossed ended up gunning him down in cold blood in one of cinema's most unexpected, brutal conclusions. Hunt has a similar vibe when Park ends up near a cliff, trying to offer his teen spy, Jo Yoo-jeong, a passport to escape the North Korean cell and live her own life in South Korea.

He considered her a daughter figure after her dad died under Park's watch. But shockingly, she sells him out, with a North Korean agent rushing and shooting Parl in the car. It's a scary way for the lead to go out, but he does get justice as the teen kills her handler and decides to become this new person, accepting the fake ID and that Park did love her. Ultimately, Training Day felt like karma earned, but for Park, Hunt does come off a tad unfair to him, as all he wanted was peace for his country and ward.

Hunt is now available on Blu-Ray, DVD and VOD.
