Commission

Artists

The first half hour of the movie is very good, but I had to force myself to finish it. The film offers too little for something described as a "hardcore thriller crime drama." It begins with a very interesting premise of an artist entering the world of explicit and illegal art, similar to the dark web. Unfortunately, this wasn’t explained very well, and it felt as though I was watching a censored version of the film because it never dared to actually show us that hardcore art. The movie would have really benefited from showcasing a bit more of the artwork. There is, however, one very intense and entertaining scene where the main protagonist, Dan Kyung, fully unleashes her drawings.

The plot development is sloppy and unrealistic, and I can’t say the actors were very convincing. There is a touch of mystery and tension that might appeal to horror fans, but overall, this is a forgettable story that failed to use its potential.
