“Some of the character motivations seem at times a bit u0026quot;forcedu0026quot;(as in screenwriter needs to move the plot,so a character acts irrationally), but that didnu0026#39;t destroy my suspension of disbelief and pulled me out of the movie, so i rate this a minor criticism.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCinematography is more then well handled, shots linger on the screen longer than one might expect and create a feeling of loneliness and show the displacement of the main character from society. I liked the ending a lot, and i felt it worked well when comparing it to the emotional level of the rest of the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eConclusion: well paced Korean thriller/drama that has some minor issues that keep it from receiving a higher rating.”
