Caught this one on Friday- Wow, what a remarkable film. Working as a thriller, dark comedy and a social satire it reminded me to some degree of a Korean version of the wonderfully dark & twisted TV series- Inside Number 9 or some of the less jokey output of the Coen Brothers. This is edge of seat, nail biting stuff and laugh out loud fare, finally unfolding like a grand tragedy….

A remarkable piece of cinema
