Featured review
I don't have a very good tolerance for bad movies. If I didn't see this movie with my Korean girlfriend in a Korean movie theatre I would have walked out after 20 minutes. The acting was strangled by a inconsistent and choppy script. I wondered if it was edited by a team of Korean script writers because it was so bad I gave up trying to follow the irrational twists and turns it made. I love Korea and just felt embarrassed for all Koreans. Other movies I have seen here like King of men, host, old boy, are kick ass original movies of international calibre. That this terrible movie represents Korea to the world is really painful to accept. The director gets no credits from me for his effort or drive or desires. I only care about the product. 2 out of my three points for this movies comes from the CGI. Which I would give to any good CGI based movie. It was good enough to make this movie great if the script, acting, direction and editing had been a lot better. If Shim Hyung-Rae can come back after taking a smack in the face like the direction of this movie deserves and produces something reasonable, then he will truly deserve to be called a movie director. I really hope that happens but I'm not going to hold my breath. Sometimes dreams just don't come true.
