Great Cast, Frustratingly Dumb Script
This movie looks like a smart, high-stakes crime thriller, but the entire plot runs on characters making stupid decisions just to keep the chase going. The robbery setup is impossible to buy into, and from that moment on the tension feels forced instead of earned. Every escape happens because of plot armor, not because anyone is clever or capable.
The hunter is shot like an unstoppable force while the protagonists, who are armed and have multiple chances to fight back, constantly act irrationally. That turns what should be a strategic cat-and-mouse into a repetitive loop of bad choices and lucky survival.
The most frustrating part is that the technical side is great — strong cinematography, sound design, and a stacked cast (Park Hae-soo is easily the highlight). But none of that can fix a script with thin logic, dragged-out pacing, and an ending that gives zero real payoff.
This might work if you only care about atmosphere. If you’re looking for a tight, smart thriller, it’s a painful watch.
