Beasts That Cling to the Straw

Right from the start, you realize various stories are linked somehow and money is the common bond. Everyone wants this prize and trying to gain upper-hand somehow. The acting is superb and the pace is fast enough to be captivating.

This movie contained enough violence, disgusting human behavior, memorable characters, and selfish human desire to be worthwhile watching.

I think the reviews before this did not even watch the movie, or just dont like foreign movies.

If you can appreciate these kind of movies, this one is definitely in the same league as Parasite.

From beginning till end it was exciting and it all comes together the longer it takes, and i dont want to spoil anything.

A bloody good thriller !

I wont say it a total copy of ''No country for old men'' but it has some similarities. Specially, the money thing and killing every single one in its way .Besides, A lot of changes are made. Truly speaking, I like this one most. This isn't for everyone of course! Who doesn't get dark comedy at all. But for me it is worth watching. At first, I was pretty confused as I wasn't getting what's really going on! I didn't understood those character development and also the plots. After that plot started taking interesting turns as time pased. And I also love the way the director connected all those characters and plots.

It has good character development but most fellas will compare it with Coen brothers n Tarantino style films.

The length of the film is its biggest problem cos the action n thrill factor is missing. It does gets a lil slow at times but the characters involved me as a viewer.

I wud have rated it an 8 but the lack of suspense n tension, which is a must in these kinda films, prevented me from being generous.

Someone posted the wrong synopsis. Here's mine without spoilers.

A cleaner forced to care for his ailing mother, finds a huge bag of money at his workplace. Unknown to him, the bag has various characters involved. A custom officer in debt, a loan shark, a scammer, an escort with an abusive husband and an illegal immigrant, all these characters cross paths and get themselves into increasingly deeper trouble as they attempt to cheat their way towards the ultimate payout.

I know this is a sub-genre that some people love and they would split hairs, calling me a killjoy, but to me this is like...Layer Cake? 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag? There are also some South Korean films from about twenty years ago with similar themes, though admittedly the script is original in its character development and fine details. I don't know how people survived all of those head injuries, especially the old grandma. It's a dark comedy, not meant to be realistic, and apparently based upon a novel. The main protagonist any normal person would root for is a clerk at a jjimjilbang, a real working class victim of the system, so I can gladly put this well-written film into the cannon of SK flicks that defend the downtrodden poor.
