Actor Kim Woo-bin plays a skillful safecracker in the upcoming film “Criminal Designer.”

Still cuts of the movie revealed Wednesday showed Kim’s character showing off his talents.

In the movie, Kim plays the role of Ji-hyuk, the leader of a group of tech-savvy outlaws aiming to steal 150 billion won ($140 million) from the Incheon Custom Agency within 40 minutes.

Kim’s character is called the “master key” among the safe-cracking criminals, due to his intelligence and planning ability.
