Viewing Notes

An elaborate con flick where the con-artists are conning each other. Seems like I’ve seen a few Korean con flicks and this one is decent but also a tad predictable. Felt like this movie could been over at 75 minutes. The last 30 minutes are more flashbacks to how the cons played out with a neat bow to finalized the final con. It was cool to see the singer turned actor Nana in a substantial role amidst these more seasoned male actors. However it did make want at least another female character as this film is so male dominated. But she’s great, beautiful and could be a younger (taller) sister of Satomi Ishihara. Hopefully gets more good roles.
