Dogool

I was hesitating while picking this up as I have seen so many negative comments about it. But, of course, they are wrong about this or maybe have different point view. However, I enjoyed this. First, I thought, It's a typical heist movie, all about planning and focusing on execution of heist. Unlike heist movies here some fun elements which I like most. The most surprising thing about the movie is it turns out be a revenge movie.

I didn't expect this movie to be a masterpiece but at least i thought it would deliver what commercial korean movies usually deliver, enjoyable and fun moments you don't have to think a lot about it , it's the formula that worked 10 years ago with movies like The thieves /Tazza and other legendary pop corn movies with huge multicast, nice plot with many twists, some moments of laughter but unfortunately this movie failed to even reach that level of being entertaining with boring story line and predictable twists even the acting wasn't good enough and cheesy in a lot of times, it was really disappointing and waste of time except if you're a huge fan of the actors and can tolerate how bad the movie is.

I thoroughly enjoyed this caper that reminded me of Ocean's Eleven with a side of Lupin the Third and just a hint of Indiana Jones. The final plot twist was a bit predictable, but the film still packed a few surprises towards the end.

The film seems to have all aspects required for a treasure hut genre, however still it feels out of place for the most part. The characters are not defined very clearly and always seem to be out of place. A stronger antagonist would have been helpful for the film.

Aesthetically, the colours and cinematography look average for most of the parts except towards climax. All The actors try to elevate the film with their performances, however without a strong screenplay, it seems out of place. The story looses its pace back and forth and many characters are confusing without their clear explanation.

The sound score has no value and does not help the film at all. This can be a one time watch, however don't expect the same thrill as other treasure hunt movies.

The movies lacks the zing factor to make it interesting. The story is very predictable and boring. Korean cinema has produced many great movies. Sadly, this movie does not do justice to the greatness of Korean cinema.

Ignore this movie.
