Sinkhole

If you are looking for a disaster movie with some average comedy in it, this is your time. Also, this movie engages with how people react to sudden dangerous situations like this. Slowly starting with middle-class social problems in South Korea this movie suddenly goes through a disaster. So unexpectedly people have to face the consequences of that matter. So this movie is pretty enjoyable with your family members....

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.

This is something to see together with family or friends. Little drama, but more irony / comedy overall. Watching this movie got me in good mood. Not a blockbuster, but definitely a nice made one!

Disaster scenario we are looking at in this south korean action thriller dramedy, as the title says its about a sudden sink in the ground that swallows a 5 story building and much more, made on south korean premisses and wit, with all the cultural nodding, screaming and slapping thats so usual in their films.

Its not unusual building bad buildings on a rotten underground in south korea, also a history with motheating corruption and greed due to sky high prices for a living lot combined with a long geographical history of sinkholes, make this topic of events interesting.

Its the first sinkhole disaster movie ive noted, and the plots and drive of action mustve been inspired by the norwegian consepts of ''the wave' and ''quake'', there are so much that happens in a short time, that even the grumpy old man did his best to push and pull (on the sofa) to help the survivors. And there are also mediocre parts of compulsary korean rites that has to be there just to be accaimed as worth watching which may be daft and unusual to see outside east asia, and there are some inconsistencies that bends every physical laws of reality, and things you might shouldnt do I. C. E..

but its fun and scary, loads of mud and dirt , an amazing set of special effects that mustve been overwhelming in the cinema theater, so if you are in for the adrenaline have a look.

The cast is fairly well known faces from the korean tv-world, the acts is not outstanding in any way, but as a team it works. So whether or not, a sinkhole makes challenges for everyone, and remember your gps and cellphone doesnt work at 400 meters bsl, so you better be prepared and start climbing the rugged wall before YOU fall in...

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.
