"HARD HIT" is now in a strong position to overtake "Mission: Possible" as the best performing South Korean film of the year, which had 447,111 admissions. But the film's prospects after that point are much murkier, as the next best performing after "Mission: Possible" is a foreign title that has had over 600,000 admissions. "HARD HIT" stars Jo Woo-jin in a leading role, as he attempts to deal with extortion demands under the threat of his car exploding with him and his children still inside.
