    SIMPLE YET BRUTAL ON IT'S OWN WAY

    With just a 4 to 5 characters ànd the streets of Korea and some breath taking performance from the cast,which was easily passable with the brilliant screenplay and crisp editing,with pitch perfect night visuals lighting,so what a nail biting around two hours of roller coaster ride that easily captures u.

    Kind of frustrated

    The movie is about a serial killer who is killing people randomly. But once a physically disabled (deaf) girl happened to see while on the way home. So, she is attacked too. On the other hand, her mother is waiting for her on road. Will they be able to protect themselves?

    It may contain some spoilers, I feel like watching ''A cat trying to catch mouse'' Maybe half of the movie is about roaming and hiding. The most frustrating thing is the police officers, are they too dumb! They just let the serial killer go. While they are saying, he is the one. Whereas, they caught the brother of the girl who the serial killer attacked/killed. He came there to report but instead of reporting or taking action, they just lock him up. Even, in the whole movie, the police did nothing. Though some serial killings are going on.

    Interesting

    Works mostly as a generic thriller, but there are some very interesting scares, the best foot chase of the year and a great usage of silence to put us on the main characters feet.

    Ruined by poor writing

    A decent outing by the guy playing the villain but overall the script is just bad, it's not just the holes, the level of stupidity of the characters is probably insulting to the deaf of South Korea, their police force and society in general. The suspension of disbelief has its limits and this movie is crossing the line all the time.

    Flawed but suspenseful and well acted

    It seems like this movie attracted some negative reviews but I have to say that it has several major positives. The dynamic with the deaf women was unique and a well positioned angle. We got to experience the stamina and courage of someone who is often marginalized by society. The women here were strong positive role models- our main female lead risked her life for others. The two female leads are very cute in a down to earth right kind of way. Suspense and action were good. Serial killer was mostly annoying and crazy which would be consistent with the profile. Now some cons or simply other sides. The police are behaving in really unusual ways, from the very first scene. I don't know enough about Korean police but it seemed unlikely. The security guard took a very unusual decision at one point. And among all the action, no one seemed to engage in any analytical thought process. Lastly I wonder if the crowd's inadequate reactions were a form of social commentary. The movie may not be the best of a kind but is still solid with very good performances.
