Target

A South Korean thriller from last year. When a downtrodden renovation manager, Shin Hye-sun, has had enough w/her broken washer & decides to buy a new one, not from a store, but from a reseller, Im Seong-jae, things go from worse to murderous. It turns out Seong-jae is a serial killer w/a particular bent; he targets a victim, kills them & resells their stuff down to the apartment studs but when Hye-sun complains & tracks him down to lay out some real complaints, bringing in a detective, Kim Sung-kyun, to assist as the bodies mount & Seong-jae tries to blackmail Hye-sun into her being left alone. Other than the goofy translated title (don't know the exact translation from Korean) & some lapses in thriller logic, this film is ripe to be remade here in the States where purchases from social media sites have become a cottage industry unto itself. As to the originator, it moves at a clip & some of the set pieces (a car chase through the narrow alleyways of the city is a true edge of the seat draw) are so well done I can't wait to see Michael Bay's overblown retake.

A decent Korean thriller that fits the mold of so many similar genre films of late. Home invasion, cybercrime, stalking etc. It doesn't do much to improve the formula, but it will do for a casual watch.

The film minimizes blood and guts, instead playing up the psychological terror that victims suffer from cybercriminals. Our protagonist really does go through considerable distress with hardly any way to protect herself since the elusive villain's methods are scarily effective. He often hides in plain sight, and the screenplay cleverly keeps him hidden until late in the story. Thus we have both a mystery and a stalker thriller that plays its cards straight, with little diversion from the main plot.

It does progress into something more conventional later on, and it might have been more memorable if it strayed from the norm. But we'll have to do with what's presented here, and that's a polished piece of tension building that doesn't do anything to impress, but just about scratches that thriller itch before you move on to something better.

Honestly, I keep swiping this movie away as the one line was boring but this movie surprised me with the unexpected twists they revealed the antagonist in the perfect time and the movie was fast paced, actors literally lived their respective characters Best movie for crime thriller murder freaks screenplay is top notch and cinematography is mind blowing this movie definitely deserves a way higher rating than just six point five the climax was totally unexpected and this movie will keep you on the edge all the time family friendly, there is some humour added here and there highly recommend.....

Should you watch this movie as you feel like watching a Korean Movie. Short answer yes. But there's always a but.

As we all know there are crazy people in online, and the best thing to do is to ignore them especially if that person have your information. But fortunately for this buyer who got scammed, decide to triggered the scammer. And paid the price.

It's actually an informative movie teaching you how or what scammer could do with your information. Should you want to try it out yourself or prevent yourself.

I really wanted to praise the movie, but it got so really stupid at the end, that maybe she deserved it all.

A young woman deals with a creepy boss as well as a scammer who turns into a vindictive cyber-stalker after she confronts him online. Unfortunately, this felt uncreative and rather generic, complete with a car chase that by all rights should have been the end of the film, but no, it dragged on longer. Throughout the film the woman puts herself in unnecessary danger, the police are always understaffed and one step behind, and the killer moves in linear ways. It's reasonably well made, but I think anyone could have written this. It may pass some time on a long airplane ride if you have nothing better to do though.
