JJJJJJ J Plot twists on top of plot twists on top of plot twists but it worked! The film begins a bit slow but it builds from there. I think the plot could have been more simplified but over all it was a good idea, and in the end I think there was something deep that was trying to be said, just with such a expressionist plot that kind of gets overlooked on first viewing. Probably worth a second watch. Good movie recommend for thriller fans. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Audience Member Fabulous film, full of twists and turns. Superb acting; Choi Daniel and Park Seo-Joon are wonderful in these serious role. Glad they took a break from comedy. I love the moral issues it raised. How far can honest people be pushed before they sin or even commit a crime. How mindful we need to be when we listen, really listen to others. I did not see the ending coming. It was a powerful surprise... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid as always. Im to the point that ive watched so many CJ Entertainment movies that i could start casting actors in roles. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Suspenseful, quick-paced, with a twist at the end. Really enjoyed it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Stupid twist, lazy storytelling, shoehorned sentimentality, but the worst part is probably the title. The movie failed to do what it set out to do. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice attempt but really a hodgepodge of nonsense... The glaring obviousness of the male actors bad makeup was very bothersome... Every single actor in the movie was at one point the suspect killer.... Mentally tiring ordeal to watch... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
