over the top cliché
31 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
When this movie start, I know already what will happen, even though I'm not even read the synopsis, when they show how close he is with his sister, I know that something will happen to his sister, with the rough town environment and everything. They tried to fill in some fantasy element in this movie with that psychic chick, who totally did her best with her role. But its not really mix well. I said "over the top cliché" because its same routine whodunit Korean movie that we, Korean movie buff had seen a lot of time. The same chasing around routine, the same dumb police who do not believe anyone routine. All the acting is OK, but its just so boring and quite predictable. This is like some comfort zone in Korean cinema that they need to get out of. They need to find a new genre and kill that one. Its okay if they still want to stick with this kind of story as long as they got some "not cliché" interesting tale to tell. Move on Korean cinema! We love you! The good "cliche" in 2015 that I notice is "The Accidental Detective", you need to watch this one!
