Audience Member 1999`s Shiri would usher in a new wave of South Korean cinema. Attack the Gas Station is a silly and satirical film about four delinquent youths who rob a gas station. They get bored and do it again, but this time stick around and take everyone hostage. Their domineering attitude makes them dangerous, as they clash with customers, food delivery men, and low level gangsters. Their broken dreams are quickly shown through flashback, and the night gets more crazy and demented as the film goes. It feels like a breath of fresh air, as its something that`s never been done before but also is a scathing indictment of South Korean hierarchy and classicism.

Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Kim Sang-jin's Attack the Gas Station is the story about four thugs who decides to rob a gas station in the middle of the night, because they are bored. They already robbed the same gas station once, but when the boss this time decides to hide all the money, the thugs decides to hold all the employees as hostages, while they are running the station in such a rude way, while they force the boss to come up with the money. Attack the Gas Station is a great crime comedy, a hysterical one, because of the way the hostages are treated and how sometimes they turn against each other and even feels affection for their prison guard, Mu "Bulldozer" Dae-po, who always carrying a big stick and act like a strict sergeant, and I just laugh so hard when he's on screen. And it's also interesting and funny to watch the flashbacks of all the thugs that shows us the reason why they are robbing the gas station in the first place, they show us their broken dreams, and we kind of feel sorry for them. This film have gained a special cult status in South Korea. There's even been similar attacks in real-life. It's like a Korean Fight Club. It is also a social commentary about the economic turmoil in South Korea in which car manufacturers was laying off thousands of employees. And it's also a commentary about american imperialism as well. In other words this is a movie about the frustrated South Korean youth. For me, Attack the Gas Station is the best Korean film I've seen so far. Thumbs up. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Ridiculous in all the right ways.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Well here you go, for what it's worth: A really fun Korean movie. It's what I would describe as 'coming-of-age', with fairly relevant social commentary. But that'd be me waxing intelligent. Quirky, heart-felt, and well written (IMO). Worth a watch if your bored or just in the mood for a movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
