Target

Should you watch this movie as you feel like watching a Korean Movie. Short answer yes. But there's always a but.

As we all know there are crazy people in online, and the best thing to do is to ignore them especially if that person have your information. But fortunately for this buyer who got scammed, decide to triggered the scammer. And paid the price.

It's actually an informative movie teaching you how or what scammer could do with your information. Should you want to try it out yourself or prevent yourself.

I really wanted to praise the movie, but it got so really stupid at the end, that maybe she deserved it all.

A decent Korean thriller that fits the mold of so many similar genre films of late. Home invasion, cybercrime, stalking etc. It doesn't do much to improve the formula, but it will do for a casual watch.

The film minimizes blood and guts, instead playing up the psychological terror that victims suffer from cybercriminals. Our protagonist really does go through considerable distress with hardly any way to protect herself since the elusive villain's methods are scarily effective. He often hides in plain sight, and the screenplay cleverly keeps him hidden until late in the story. Thus we have both a mystery and a stalker thriller that plays its cards straight, with little diversion from the main plot.

It does progress into something more conventional later on, and it might have been more memorable if it strayed from the norm. But we'll have to do with what's presented here, and that's a polished piece of tension building that doesn't do anything to impress, but just about scratches that thriller itch before you move on to something better.

Well maybe not entirely and always - sometimes it is also what you make of it ... no pun intended anyway. And also you can never know who you are dealing with. I know that when I "clap back" (metaphorically and verbally that is) with some people ... I sometimes think: maybe I shouldn't do that ... I have no idea what their mind set is after all.

So the movie takes this to a different degree one might argue. Good acting and overall structure when it comes to where this ends up and also when you think about how little "story" there is. It is just about something offered, the person receiving having an issue with it (rightfully so) ... and everything going upside down.

A South Korean thriller from last year. When a downtrodden renovation manager, Shin Hye-sun, has had enough w/her broken washer & decides to buy a new one, not from a store, but from a reseller, Im Seong-jae, things go from worse to murderous. It turns out Seong-jae is a serial killer w/a particular bent; he targets a victim, kills them & resells their stuff down to the apartment studs but when Hye-sun complains & tracks him down to lay out some real complaints, bringing in a detective, Kim Sung-kyun, to assist as the bodies mount & Seong-jae tries to blackmail Hye-sun into her being left alone. Other than the goofy translated title (don't know the exact translation from Korean) & some lapses in thriller logic, this film is ripe to be remade here in the States where purchases from social media sites have become a cottage industry unto itself. As to the originator, it moves at a clip & some of the set pieces (a car chase through the narrow alleyways of the city is a true edge of the seat draw) are so well done I can't wait to see Michael Bay's overblown retake.

From start to finish, the movie had me on the edge of my seat, skillfully keeping the identity of the culprit a mystery. Initially, the possibility of a team orchestrating events added complexity, only to be overturned later, leaving breadcrumbs that pointed to a lone individual. The film skillfully navigated the suspense, making it impossible to pinpoint a suspect. What sets this thriller apart is its intense portrayal of cyberbullying. Unlike other movies in the genre, the impact felt remarkably potent. The storyline weaves through a tapestry of clues, keeping the audience guessing until the very end. With seamless pacing and a narrative that evolves organically, the movie transcends typical cyberbullying portrayals, delivering a gripping and intense experience. A must-watch for those seeking a thrilling ride with a fresh take on a familiar theme.
