i loved a lot about this movie, especially the sound design and the coloring in the different shots that overall added to the atmosphere. the cat and mouse between our trio and han was great and the suspense was done perfectly in a way that made you terrified for what would happen next, hoping that the boys manage to get to thailand like they said they would. unfortunately, their dream is ruined by han as he hunts them down relentlessly and even kills jang-ho (and presumably kihoon, although his death is off screen and implied), leaving joon-seok alone and traumatized by the events that happened before he managed to escape. the cliffhanger ending which leaves room for viewer interpretation as to if he gets his revenge or not was nicely done as well. the main thing holding this movie back was the ridiculous runtime, clocking in at over two hours and telling a story that could’ve easily been told in ninety minutes. other than the big of a drag it can be, this was really fun even on a rewatch.
