North Korea has become a focal point of US foreign-policy discussions, but having been called a "hermit kingdom," one suspects many Americans know relatively little about the reigning family's brutal history -- or how that came to be.

The result is a slick thriller that trades in some of the moody atmosphere that draped earlier versions for a more straightforward action vehicle.
