“This is one of those films where you canu0026#39;t help but improvise. It has those scenes where you shout out brilliant, but then proceed to make a few alterations to the already produced script to make the thing workable, if not believable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are many awful south Korean films out there (for whatever reason, most of them seem to be romantic comedies)– this is not one of them. Unfortunately this is no u0026quot;Sympathy for Mr. Vengeanceu0026quot; or u0026quot;Sorumu0026quot; either. There are a handful of brilliant scenes in this film, including one particularly claustrophobic segment that reminded me of a permutation of Tarantinou0026#39;s Kill Bill Volume 2. Unfortunately, these moments are mired in irrelevance, overacting, and implausibility.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBy all means, have a drink, take the film in — but be prepared to throw a huge amount of constructive criticism at your TV. Be prepared to start writing a screen play, maybe take up non-linear editing as a hobby.”
