Dogool

A reviewer by anarchronox claimed to be horribly not fond with the movie since he has a hard time reading subtitles plus foreign movies dont suit his type. it least this movie is better than the unrealistic indian movies he has watched. please ignore his awfully written review and watch the movie! the cast acted amazing and did not disappoint.

An upbeat slightly comical movie about stealing a sword from a tomb. The direction is quite well paced. Lee je hoon is the right guy for this role. I was a bit confused towards the end.

I was hesitating while picking this up as I have seen so many negative comments about it. But, of course, they are wrong about this or maybe have different point view. However, I enjoyed this. First, I thought, It's a typical heist movie, all about planning and focusing on execution of heist. Unlike heist movies here some fun elements which I like most. The most surprising thing about the movie is it turns out be a revenge movie.

There are some funny parts, and some exciting parts. Overall, mood is playful and light. The real objective of the heist is revealed only towards the end with only the slightest hint earlier on. This took a lot of time and cunning for Kang Dong-goo to pull it off spectacularly. That the writer and director are able to achieve this sleight of hand on an unsuspecting audience is a tribute to the film's ingenuity.

The movies lacks the zing factor to make it interesting. The story is very predictable and boring. Korean cinema has produced many great movies. Sadly, this movie does not do justice to the greatness of Korean cinema.

Ignore this movie.
