Storyline
Featured review
Decent Thriller
South Korea has really carved out a place for themselves when it comes to making suspenseful thrillers and this film slides nicely into that niche.
After coming home to find his wife murdered and his best friend subsequently arrested for the crime, a man sets out to find out the truth of the matter. The best friend's wife is also on a mission to see her husband set free and is desperate for the man to speak up and clear her husband's name. The truth may set them all free from their torment or it could reveal things they'd rather not know.
The film is well constructed and moves along at a steady pace keeping the viewer engaged. The actors are all skilled and portray their characters with realistic emotion and drive. The plot is not a new but the ride is still interesting and thought provoking. The suspense builds nicely throughout.
I'd recommend this to people who like a decent whodunnit. It will have you guessing and trying to work things out and you may even figure things out before the reveal. I did but I still enjoyed the film.
