Mr Park you’ve done it again. If you haven’t watched anything from him yet, this is a great introduction. What starts as a simple detective mystery plot gets flipped on its head in a heartwarming yet bittersweet middle of this movie, because you know the rug is going to be pulled eventually, you just don’t know when. Has to be one of the best final parting shots in a movie I’ve ever seen, so richly layered and from an Americans standpoint, puts in perspective ones ignorance. It’s refreshing to watch how park motions and positions the camera in a time where a lot of movies have every scene centered and uniform. WATCH
