Featured reviews
Netflix has quite some interesting movies/productions and this is one of them. Korean thrillers are quite good most of the time anyway (at least in my book). One may wonder where they come up with that stuff and ideas. But I'm happy they do and I happily watch them too.
Like this one, that keeps you guessing from the start to the finish. Certainly some decisions may feel akward or wrong that characters take, but that is just how things work. Also it will make sense (more or less) in the end. Keep guessing, keep trying to figure out where this goes - it's almost impossible I'd say. Unless you've read a synopsis and even then, it had to be quite thorough ... so I urge go in this without reading too much about it and enjoy the thriller you are being served ... and the enticing story with it ... I don't totally agree with the ending this chooses, but it makes sense with the sensibilities and the mood overall ...

- Watched this movie in Netflix.
- The movie starts of very good and remains good till the first half of the movie.
- After the first half, the writers introduced too many twists which spoiled the flow of movie. Some of those twists were unneccessary and didn't make much sense.
- Didn't understood the motive behind the action of one of the heroes in climax scene. (Not mentioning the 'action' because it might be a spoiler)
- Overall a one time watchable movie.
There are some good points about this movie. It draws you in and keeps you interested. The plot is unpredictable with some twists that take you by surprise. When it seems there are just too many things to be explained, don't worry there is an explanation. It's far fetched but throrough - too elaborate a scheme to achieve the outcome. I was entertained but I wish the ending had been different. Kang Ha Neul acts well. He is a convincing actor unlike some of the newer generation.
I enjoyed this movie better than expected. You never know with Netflix movies if a movie will be good or bad. But this movie is worth watching for the performances and characters. The ending is emotionally gripping. I'll spoil it by saying anything more. It's best going into this movie not knowing anything.
Short and sweet; I love me my Korean thrillers. This was a good one. Great for the first hour, had no idea where it was going. The last hour became a little more convoluted than it needed to be. Common in these films to keep layering on the connected relationships but the last hour just wasn't as strong as the set-up. Def worth watching.
