Sameir A A thriller just for the sake of it. You are going to like it, if you don't dig deeper into the logic. Yes, there are plenty of questions you might ask throughout the film, it may affect the viewing experience. Korean films are awesome in making thrillers, but this is not the perfect one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/04/21 Full Review Audience Member An interesting psychology thriller action film that is somewhat, still thrilling and exciting because strong performances and a lil bit deficient plot cancel out each other and finally leaves a sweet taste of a true thrill. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The host of a popular radio program has her family held hostage on the final night of her show. The maniac says she must recall and play certain songs that he demands, as he is the vigilante serial killer who has been going after criminals. The film does have its suspenseful moments, but plenty of dumb ones too. Like cliches here and there, and not having completely fully realized themes. Its a basic thriller that's just good enough to view if you love thrillers, or you can skip it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was exhilerating and had me biting my nails within 20 minutes. The acting was incredible and I love everything about it. 10000/10 would watch again Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member impressive sycho thriller movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review jesse o This movie certainly isn't bad, or anything of the sort, it's got enough intriguing and interesting goings-on to keep the film from being boring. But the likelihood that this film would exist without Taxi Driver is very low. In many ways, this is a loving tribute to one of the best films ever made, and certainly one of my favorites of all time. But it depends so much on Taxi Driver's idea of an unlikely hero to save the world from all the immorality that's running rampant, that it doesn't ever really get an identity of its own. I have no problem in the film alluding to the events of Taxi Driver, but to center so much of your narrative on it screams of lack of originality. There's a decent amount of suspense of the film, and that's really the only true thing it does on its own. And even then, you've seen this story done elsewhere. There's certain parameters that are set when you do this type of movie and, apprently, this film chose to work within those parameters. And that's fine, not everything that's new and fresh ends up being good. I just wish the film took more chances than it did. With that said, the film does a great job at holding your attention and keeping you interested throughout, even if it's not a great film per se. This is a better than average film, but you'd be better off watching Taxi Driver instead. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
