The plot centers on Jung-won Cha (Lee Sun-kyun), a widower and homeland security employee. Fiercely loyal to his boss, he is unafraid to confront the president during meetings. His daughter is about to leave for Australia to study music. On his way to the airport, Cha's day goes awry. He gets into an argument with a petrol station attendant, and heavy fog disrupts traffic, causing chaos on the airport bridge to Seoul. The bridge becomes the site of multiple accidents due to low visibility. The situation worsens when several military experiment dogs escape from a truck.
While the proceedings are engaging, the plot leaves several questions unanswered, particularly regarding the backstory of the dogs and their motivation for attacking. References to Cha’s wife appear throughout the film, but more information about her would have been appreciated. The CGI is top-notch, enhancing the experience with breath-taking visuals of the collapsing bridge, ferocious dogs, and vehicles crashing in the fog. This film prioritises visuals over plot, with the foggy atmosphere and eerie silence on the bridge, amplifying the horror elements.
The film features several characters in the same situation, but none have distinct personalities that add depth to the plot. After setting up an intriguing scenario, the story loses momentum, and the grand climax becomes predictable. Lee Sun-kyun excels as a government officer and saviour, delivering a convincing performance in his final role before his death, portraying a man who does the unthinkable in a dire situation. However, it’s Ju Ji-hoon who steals the limelight as Jobak, the petrol station attendant. His goofy role brings the film's comic element to life. 'Project Silence' is an enjoyable experience, but it quickly fades from memory once you leave the cinema hall.
