      chase

      Korean crime movies love a sense of oppression and a kind of national resentment, including many horror movies, which makes people feel aggrieved and angry when watching them. The pictures of murderous and brutal killings are described, but the male protagonist's hatred of criminals is blocked several times, and the sense of depression is multiplied. This film is terrifying, and what is terrifying is not a murderer, but a group of sloppy, negligent police officers, and an inaction...

      The eyes of hope, the cold light of despair

      Rainy night , the
      murderer
      , the missing person
      , the unsolved case with no clue,
      the man who
      scratches his head, the helpless policeman , who
      is the protector of the people, but
      this moment
      is so vulnerable,
      so unsightly,
      don't have any more illusions ,
      don't make any extravagant hopes
      , this is an extravagant hope in reality
      This is an illusion under the system,
      but I
      woke up
      and put down my handcuffed hands....

      Silly B movie, the whole is a low-level black, treats the audience like kindergarten children

      The whole movie is so stupid, and the plot is seriously unreasonable! After the heroine comes out, can't she shout for help at the loudest? ! Wasn't your first reaction when you woke up and shouted for help? ! Why do you say that Koreans live in big villas and no one can hear them? ! Take the audience as SB? ! There is no one on the streets of TMD in broad daylight. The only people who can find it are the victim, the murderer, and a bastard with an extremely weak IQ? ! As expected, Bangziguo...

      Thanks to the director for not following the Hollywood routine

      Dark tones, dark reality, very textured and powerful. Thanks to the director for not following the Hollywood routine, no police rushing in when the hammer was raised, the bad guy ended up being ambiguous, the poor little girl's future is completely uncertain, and so on, etc. I can't bear to worry, but this is the real mess. It's a hundred times more shocking than the usual Hollywood movie where the good guys must have a bright ending and the bad guys can't succeed. 》The reason I totally despise...

      Why are Korean crime movies so good that people have nothing to say? China emphasizes police justice, Hong Kong emphasizes brotherhood, and the United States emphasizes individual heroes. Compared with South Korea, it is more like this: it emphasizes the powerlessness of "individuals" in the face of "human...

      It is never the cunning of criminals that makes us grit our teeth, but the powerlessness and stupidity of power under the control of the system. What the people need is not sanctimonious crackers, but pursuers who really want to know the truth. The final ending is not bright. The director deliberately suppressed the climax, but it is actually wise to put all the sins in the hands of calm, because it is never the power of the individual that shows justice in the end, and it is this that makes...
