Viewing Notes

This may be a private screening. It was! Amazing to have the theater to myself. Sadly I suppose that was because the movie is not so good and the Korean folx were aware and stayed away.

For the typical 2-hour runtime, this film spends the first hour spinning its wheels. Like incredibly dull table setting that could’ve been done in half the time (like the intro the characters is supposed to establish their relationship and significance to each other that you ultimately discover doesn’t mean anything by the end! Frustrating. It’s as though this was written as a K-drama then compressed into a film and they weren’t sure what to cut.).

But into the second half things get exciting with the first major car race / chase then an event that really sets things off. I’d recommend just reading the synopsis then jumping an hour into this movie. Would be more enjoyable that way. It does get a bit ridiculous towards the end but more fun and thrilling.
