| Recipe: take a pissed off mob boss, a desire for revenge, and incompetent employees. Mix well.
Then sit and laugh yourself silly.
Simply put: South Korea meets "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre".
This is one of the darkest black comedies to come along in a while. It has the accidental disaster nature of "Pulp Fiction", peppered with discord between two enforcers, which leads to a very funny scene where the pecking order between them is reestablished.
Add Lee Ji-Hyeon (of "La Belle"), the absolute best actress in the world when it comes to droll deadpan, and the mix gets better and better.
You either like insane Korean humor, AND have a strong stomach for gore (not as gory as American gore BTW), which makes you a category one, or you're squeamish and don't find whacked out Korean humor funny.
If you're in category one, jump in and have a laugh or ten.
Category two? Watch something else.
The ending is typically Korean in a delicious way, and fits the crime.
I love the flick, have watched it a lot of times, and will close by saying it is just plain bloody funny. |
