Midnight

Works mostly as a generic thriller, but there are some very interesting scares, the best foot chase of the year and a great usage of silence to put us on the main characters feet.

The main lead played by Ki-joo Jin is pretty solid..rarely you see such performance by actors playing deaf characters and evoking such emotions in the audiences...also the chemistry between Ki-joo Jin and the actor playing her mother....the plot has quite a loopholes...police is dumbed down a lot...killer always has the upper hand but ending is decent...

It seems like this movie attracted some negative reviews but I have to say that it has several major positives. The dynamic with the deaf women was unique and a well positioned angle. We got to experience the stamina and courage of someone who is often marginalized by society. The women here were strong positive role models- our main female lead risked her life for others. The two female leads are very cute in a down to earth right kind of way. Suspense and action were good. Serial killer was mostly annoying and crazy which would be consistent with the profile. Now some cons or simply other sides. The police are behaving in really unusual ways, from the very first scene. I don't know enough about Korean police but it seemed unlikely. The security guard took a very unusual decision at one point. And among all the action, no one seemed to engage in any analytical thought process. Lastly I wonder if the crowd's inadequate reactions were a form of social commentary. The movie may not be the best of a kind but is still solid with very good performances.

The movie is about a serial killer who is killing people randomly. But once a physically disabled (deaf) girl happened to see while on the way home. So, she is attacked too. On the other hand, her mother is waiting for her on road. Will they be able to protect themselves?

It may contain some spoilers, I feel like watching ''A cat trying to catch mouse'' Maybe half of the movie is about roaming and hiding. The most frustrating thing is the police officers, are they too dumb! They just let the serial killer go. While they are saying, he is the one. Whereas, they caught the brother of the girl who the serial killer attacked/killed. He came there to report but instead of reporting or taking action, they just lock him up. Even, in the whole movie, the police did nothing. Though some serial killings are going on.

I love SK movies but this got more and more stupid as it went along. Could have been a lot better. Definitely wouldn't watch this again as with 45mins to go i just wanted to turn it off as it got dumber the longer it went on.
