      Laura Kern New York Times In the writer and director Sang-il Lee’s Scrap Heaven, three strangers share a general dissatisfaction with life -- and a fateful ride aboard a hijacked bus. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 18, 2007 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post [Director] Lee also helmed Hula Girls, a clichd comedy that I hated (one star). With Scrap Heaven, he redeems himself. Rated: 3/4 Jul 18, 2007 Full Review Aaron Hillis Village Voice [Director] Lee's visual jazziness and cast are compelling, but nothing can compensate for a deflated, toilet-humored script that negates its potential for sharp social satire with increasingly adolescent and superficial vilifying philosophies. Jul 17, 2007 Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International Does not advance much beyond its expected generic elements. Jul 20, 2007 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide Sang-il Lee's anarchic drama is shot through with spasms of dark comedy, as the lives of three strangers intersect at the point of a gun. Rated: 3/4 Jul 18, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member It has an idea, but the execution doesn't really deliver emotion that we can relate to. In the end as the story goes it becomes bland and whiny Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A fantastic revenge story Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A brilliant and twisted Japanese version of Fight Club. Two blokes extract revenge for people who have been wronged until they take on a case that goes awry. The three main actors are superb in their roles but of the three Jo Odagiri is the best. Loved it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member If you like fight club you will maybe like this one too. Pretty movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member the best movie of JOE ODAGIRI Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A brilliant and twisted Japanese version of Fight Club.
