Sing-geul ra-i-deo

Everything felt so warm and cozy, but I jumped to conclusions way too fast. At first, I thought the movie was left open-ended, and I didn't get its ending. But after chatting with my friend about it, everything clicked into place! Wow! It turned out to be such a beautifully sad and touching story.

Lee Byung-hun's performance was exceptional, showcasing his remarkable talent as always. His portrayal included moments of raw, desperate emotion, particularly evident in his heartbreaking cries. These volcanic outbursts conveyed such depth of feeling that they resonated with the audience, making you feel as if you were right there alongside him, experiencing the anguish and turmoil he was enduring. His ability to evoke such empathy truly highlights his skills as an actor, immersing viewers in the character's struggle.

The plot is interesting and creative. But the whole movie lacks up and down. It is as peaceful as a river surface.

The ending should be the only surprise. But i have read its summary beforehand, so ruin all the surprise.

You are advised not to read any review before seeing this movie.

This film was a nice little surprise. A Single Rider is a film about a Korean man who's career as an investment broker is shattered after his company is exposed for fraud. He makes choices that take him on a search for his wife and son who have been living abroad in Australia. Once there he gets to quietly take a look at the family he has missed out on due to his drive for fortune.

I have found that I really enjoy the way Korean's portray dramatic issues in films. This movie is subtle, maybe paced a tad bit slow but impactful. It didn't take me very long to figure out where it was heading but it was enjoyable to watch nonetheless.

The acting was heartfelt, understated and sincere. I thought that the main actor really brought his character to life and it was really easy to become invested into what was happening to him. I thought it was filmed well and the score really helped when setting up the atmosphere. I wish there had been more detail to the some of the ending revelations. Aside from that, I don't really have many complaints. This is a film I could recommend to my friends. Check it out.

I must say that all Lee Byung-hun's movies are just fantastic. I am actually more in love with the score of this movie, it's just all synced in a perfect sequence, perfect timing,and perfect music.

This is a beautiful movie depicting about how family is important to everyone. The soundtrack and direction is so serene and consistent!
