Jo Sung-ha, Jo Hie-bong, Oh Jung-se, J.Y. Park, and Min Hyo-rin in 5-baek-man-bool-eui Sa-na-i (2012)

Young-in and his colleague Seung-dae are a pair of professional bagmen working for various lobbyists in finance, media and a host of other industries requiring political favors. Feeling guilty about his work, Seung-dae tells Young-in he plans on blowing the whistle on his boss HanÂ’s illegal activities. Before he can, however, Seung-dae jumps off a bridge, leaving a suicide note behind. Young-in stumbles upon some shady financial records leading directly to Han, who later entrusts Young-in with a $5 million delivery. En route, he is carjacked and loses his wallet and watch, and is dumped in the forest. ItÂ’s then that Han realizes his business partner Jo is trying to kidnap him and make his death look like Seung-daeÂ’s suicide in order to embezzle the money for himself.
Young-in finally finds his way back to the car he was driving and comes across Miri, whom he knows from a charity they both work with. She has her own problems stemming from a one-night stand scam: finds herself with a bag of diamonds that a vicious gang wants back. And now the gang is after both of them.

Somewhat wasted potential...

The synopsis for the 2012 South Korean comedy drama "5-baek-man-bool-eui Sa-na-i" (aka "A Millionaire on the Run") definitely sounded like this movie could be a fun movie to watch.

I hadn't heard about this movie from writers Seong-il Cheon and Ing-no Kim prior to sitting down to watch it. But with it being a South Korean movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I had to watch it, given my fascination and admiration for the Asian cinema.

Director Ik-ro Kim managed to turn the script and storyline into an adequately enough movie for the screen. Now, the movie wasn't an outstanding viewing experience, and it wasn't really as funny as I had initially expected it to be from the synopsis. But the movie was watchable, albeit not a particularly memorable one.

The acting performances in the movie were good, and they had some nice actors and actresses on the cast list to bring the characters to life on the screen.

"5-baek-man-bool-eui Sa-na-i" is the type of movie that you watch once and never return to again. The contents of the storyline and script just doesn't have enough punch to sustain more than a single viewing.

My rating of "5-baek-man-bool-eui Sa-na-i" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.
