OTOH, the movie glosses over what happens to Tom's (Pitt's) helpers. His friend (?) Tran is, for some reason, called out of the ambulance at the checkpoint and mysteriously sneaks out to freedom, but the other fake/real doctors are just dragged off to dungeons of doom.
IMO 'Memories of Murder' from just a year later uses "artsy" camera angles to much better effect.
This one just didn't work for me: somewhere between confusing, erratic and random.
Found the gags unfitting personally, like they can't decide if their movie is supposed to be serious or black comedy or what.
Because he will obviously be found much sooner if he's in a shared ("public") space, though the blood trail leading to it doesn't help of course.
Earlier on, the boss told him he specifically trusts only the ML because he hasn't been in love and doesn't seem to be the type.
Who exactly the professor's wife conspires with and how, like if she sleeps with the bank guy, and why a bank guy even hires hitmen, and why she sits with the bank guy just as our lead comes to check him out – all of this seems to range between unclear and very poorly written.
We also never find out who fought with and abducted the lead's wife or made her flee from her trashed apartment for all time.
For me the biggest issue is why everybody under the sun wants to kill our lead. I don't get why Kim wants to kill him – if Kim really believes his hired driver hired another guy, then this guy wouldn't know anything about Kim, so unless it's very easy to trace contracting the driver back to Kim, I don't get the problem. He could make any number of arrangements that don't involve killing the lead, and then he even ups the ante and wants to kill Myun, before they become fast friends for a moment.
Then Myun: Myun just wants to double cross his hired assassin for the lulz? He seems fairly straight-forward with his associates, in the sense that they seem really loyal to him, not that he seemed to mind that a whole bunch of them died when Kim's goons came in for a stab-brawl to the death. What purpose was there to getting the finger if the murder is bound to be the daily news headliner anyway? (Or maybe that is just because of the police chase and manhunt?)
Does Myun just pretend to threaten the lead's family?
Considering how many of their people get killed and how many of their cars are wrecked and how much effort they otherwise spend on all this, I can't imagine any of this would have made sense for Kim or Myun financially even if one of them had ultimately won.
Where'd ya find those best in class subs? :3
I tried an ugly hotfix to make it show posts on the title page again: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/441534-deprecated-moviechat-org-message-boards-on-imdb-com-desktop
I only watched the longer cut and it was fairly boring, but the regular movie sounds absolutely dreadful: https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=4182
All of the characters consume at least four different drugs before making most of those decisions.
