    Korean version of ''No country for old men''

    I wont say it a total copy of ''No country for old men'' but it has some similarities. Specially, the money thing and killing every single one in its way .Besides, A lot of changes are made. Truly speaking, I like this one most. This isn't for everyone of course! Who doesn't get dark comedy at all. But for me it is worth watching. At first, I was pretty confused as I wasn't getting what's really going on! I didn't understood those character development and also the plots. After that plot started taking interesting turns as time pased. And I also love the way the director connected all those characters and plots.

    Pretty darn floorless for your directorial debut

    Well if Yong-hoon Kim produces anything else of this quality in his lifetime he'll be a happy chap. Yes the quality of the story helps greatly but the directing is up there with the best. This film is like a Steven Soderbergh does Korean crime, dark, violent with wonderful black comedy. More please.

    This is a smart film. It is the director's first feature film.

    Making money is an absolute element, making a Quentin Tarantino movie clever.

    Korean movies at it best

    I think the reviews before this did not even watch the movie, or just dont like foreign movies.

    If you can appreciate these kind of movies, this one is definitely in the same league as Parasite.

    From beginning till end it was exciting and it all comes together the longer it takes, and i dont want to spoil anything.

    A bloody good thriller !

    A Variation on Gangster Movies I've Seen Before

    I know this is a sub-genre that some people love and they would split hairs, calling me a killjoy, but to me this is like...Layer Cake? 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag? There are also some South Korean films from about twenty years ago with similar themes, though admittedly the script is original in its character development and fine details. I don't know how people survived all of those head injuries, especially the old grandma. It's a dark comedy, not meant to be realistic, and apparently based upon a novel. The main protagonist any normal person would root for is a clerk at a jjimjilbang, a real working class victim of the system, so I can gladly put this well-written film into the cannon of SK flicks that defend the downtrodden poor.
