This has got to be the absolute worst show I have ever watched!

Totally far fetched. The plot line had more holes than Swiss cheese. It was laughable, really.

An interesting and disturbing film set in Seoul, or other big South Korean city, illustrating the increasingly larger gap between the haves and the have-nots, where a poor family desperate for a decent income but whose young adult kids are well educated, cons it’s way into a very rich but rather naive family’s house. Some of the plot lines were hard to rationalize, especially towards the end, when the situation becomes, to put it mildly, rather out of hand for both families. I would not recommend this movie for families with kids younger than about mid to late teens. It has some extremely graphic violence towards the end which is hard to deal with for some people, including me. Technically, the film was brilliant in every way. It is subtitled, so you have to watch and concentrate on every frame.

It was rather slow and I kept losing interest. Also, perhaps because I am not used to the southern drawl, could not always understand what the actors were saying. Some of the camera angles used were interesting. I did like the way the movie used the Bonnie and Clyde characters and action as fairly peripheral to the main theme, and kept their scenes fairly secondary. I remember seeing the original Dunaway/Beatty movie and just like everyone else, know how it all ended. The hysterical reaction of the crowd reminded me of the OJ trial and acquittal, and how this was dealt with so differently by the competing communities.
