Ordinary People (2018)

A good crime thriller which could have been better

Overview : I was wanting to watch this movie for quite sometime. I came across a few clips of the movie and when I saw Lee Sang Yeob in a grey shade, I was really looking forward to watch it. The movie started off well. But it was too dragging. It had great potential and could have been far more better. The cast, acting, music were all on point. But somewhere, I didn’t get the connect. The movie involved a lot of elements like kidnapping, power abuse, violence, injustice etc. It’s a one time watch. If you are into crime thrillers, go for it.

Plus points:

Casting is a big plus for this movie. The politics and the suspense elements were really good. Lee Sang Yeob did an amazing job and he portrayed his role really well. Ma Dong Seok - Woooow he killed it and I loved watching him in this movie. Music was good and it was exactly on point for a crime thriller. A fantastic story with a good screenplay and concept.

Minus points:

It was too dragging and I lost the connect at a point of time. With such a great cast, it had a good potential
which I think was not properly utilised. There were no grand moments, it was like a usual crime thriller. It started off like wooow and ended like booom!

Conclusion:

The movie was neither too bad nor too good. It is watchable. If you are into crime thrillers, go for it!

Je dois avouer avoir été surprise par « Ordinary People »… mais surtout par la déception que j’ai ressentie. Vu le casting, que ce soit Ma Dong Seok, Kim Sae Ron ou encore Lee Sang Yeob, je m’attendais à bien mieux. Et ce n’est pas la faute des acteurs, qui font tous un bon travail, mais plutôt celle du scénario. Pour un thriller, j’attends de la tension, du suspense… mais ce ne fut pas vraiment le cas. Ou du moins, pas autant que je l’espérais. À la place, j’ai surtout fini par ressentir des longueurs. C’est dommage, car l’histoire avait beaucoup de potentiel, mais il manque quelque chose du côté de l’écriture.
