Sinkhole

Although the set pieces are pretty spectacular, this disaster movie falls apart for a few reasons. Some of the logistical lunacy is just too hard to swallow. The characters are more stereotypes than fully developed personalities. And the tone tries to balance goofy humor with tragic deaths... never quite managing to toe that impossible line.

The Koreans aren't particularly known for their disaster movies although over the past decade the likes of THE TOWER and THE TUNNEL stand out for being particularly suspenseful and well-mounted examples of the genre. SINKHOLE is something else entirely, more comedy and melodrama than disaster flick, although many of the genre's staples are present. The film is preoccupied with home ownership and house prices and follows the escapades of a group of apartment dwellers when their building descends below the earth. The story is totally preposterous and the dodgy CGI doesn't help, but the acting is on point and the cast work well together. However, the second half falls apart a bit and feels surprisingly listless given the premise.

A man and his family move into the home they've waited years for only to find that there may be some issues with the building foundation. Soon they are in a sinkhole nightmare.

I was expecting a bit more thrill than I got from this but what it lacked it thrill was compensated with humor. Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable watch.

Disaster movies trends to be tensed but in this movie, it isn't. You can feel the comedic vibe in intense moment. It felt weird but at the same time refreshing. Last part was just out of my imagination. Who ever thought of surviving in this way. Though it kind of dumbed but still kind of unique way. Overall it's good.

Entertaining with laughs thrown in also.

Not a standard comedy nor is it a standard disaster movie. Done in the style that only the Koreans can do.
