Innocence

Absolutely great movie. I didn't except such a great class movie.

The trailer does not do it justice. It is a must watch if you like rooting for the underdog trying to clawing back up from an impossible scenario. The story has enough twists and turns to keep you intrigued throughout the movie until the last 10 or so minutes, which is a rarity these days.

The story is about an old woman and her autistic son who are accused of poisoning 4 people on a funeral. Soon they are taken into custody.

Ahn Jung In who is her daughter lives apart from them came to know about this situation who is procecuter herself. She tries to reveal the truth as everything seems framed to her. How can a woman with dymensia and an autistic boy try to poison someone?

Besides,this everyone in the village shows hostility to her and restricting her to uncover truth. What's actually going on this village? Will she able to find the motive of the villagers? Are her mother and brother truly innocent?

This movie is just awesome. After a long time, I found a decent movie to watch and thoroughly enjoyed it from starting till ending. And the twist at the end was unbelievable .

Ahn Jung-in is a successful defense attorney. She is estranged from her family and is place in the uncomfortable position of defending her mother who has been accused of murdering 3 and the attempted murder of 2 more people who were attendees at her father's funeral. She sets out to find out what really happened and uncovers corruption, lies and secrets among the people her father called friends.

I enjoyed this film. The first part of it runs long but does a good job of setting up the drama to unfold. Admittedly the emotion drives the film and brings up questions about whether wrongs can be made right with more wrongs. Can an injustice right the longsuffering victims of justice denied?

I don't mind suggesting this film to people who enjoy films in this genre. It was well acted, filmed and constructed even if it was a tad slow and a bit long.

5.5 / 10.

The first half hour is quite stretched, tiring and boring. Later the story becomes more interesting and has a good mystery. Not predictable but it should have been a little shorter.
