Viewing Notes
Twisty borderline dark comedy but ultimately a corrupt cop slash coverup thriller that gets better as it goes. I suppose the first act of the movie is a dark comedy and included in the description: detective commits a hit & run and tries to cover-up the situation by burying the body with his dead mother. But that’s only the foundation of this cat and mouse rollercoaster. The main character (Lee Sun-kyun) is an awful detective; he’s also the upperclass father in PARASITE so it’s easy to hate on him here.
If this hasn’t already been remade in Hollywood it would be a good one to option. This story could work anywhere.
