Recently watched The Thieves and I really enjoyed it. It's basically a mish-mash of Ocean's 11 and Mission: Impossible, with some standard heist film cliches built in, but it's all done fairly well. The actual main heist takes place like halfway through the film, which was surprising, as the movie still goes on for like 40 minutes after it, and has a whole separate big third act I wasn't expecting. Some pretty cool action sequences, fun characters, and basically a major plot twist every 10 minutes, I can totally understand how this became the highest grossing S. Korean film of all time.

lil sartre posted:What I liked most and made the movie for me was the cat burglar girl, the one that the other girls refer to as "that bitch", besides being stunning she was also hilarious; I looked her up after the movie (for.. erm.. a project) and turns out she was also in My Sassy Girl, which made me slap myself for not recognizing her cause I loved that movie and she was amazing in there too. Yeah, ever since My Sassy Girl I've been a fan of hers. I've seen pretty much all the films she's been in, although none were as good as that one. She was also the lead in Daisy, which I wrote about a few posts earlier, although you could probably figure out what I thought of that film from the spoiler. She did another film with the director of My Sassy Girl called Windstruck if you want to check it out. It's kind of like a pseudo-prequel to My Sassy Girl.

escape artist posted:I just watched Mother last night, and I'm going to watch The Host later tonight. Have you seen Memories of Murder? I still consider that his best film. I feel like Fincher's Zodiac was heavily influenced by it. There's also a lot of political and cultural subtext going on that you'd probably have to read up on after seeing the film, but once I did gave me an even deeper appreciation of what he achieved.

Limited release is its own form of marketing. Few theaters means that everyone who really wants to see the film will flock to them, resulting in really high per-screen averages. Those people in turn spread word of mouth praise to friends and online, hopefully hyping up the casual viewer when the film eventually goes wider.

Gringo Heisenberg posted:The Front Line is about the Korean War and is directed by the same guy who did JSA and Secret Reunion. Wasn't JSA directed by Chan-Wook Park? Pretty sure he didn't direct The Front Line or Secret Reunion (unless there's another JSA film I don't know about).
