Viewing Notes
My 4th movie of the marathon, technically the 5th since I skipped the first. This starts off well and builds nicely for a while but the final act is just some stupid nonsense that undercuts everything else. While I liked the twist, the motivation is just a bunch of horse shit.
Jay described this as “...a Korean thriller with a lot less intensity” and I think that kind of perfectly sums it up.
