As Good As It Gets
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
This defines 'on the edge of your seat'. I wish more western movies were this ingenious. This is at the top of the collection of brilliant somewhat similar South Korean movies. Not for the easily shocked!
Hi everyone. So at first this movie seemed great. Solid acting, good opening, nice pacing, and then after about 30 minutes in the movie makes a turn for the worst.The entire last hour and a half of the movie are ridiculous, completely unbelievable garbage. The main killer is caught, and get this...for no reason at all...they free him almost immediately. It literally makes no sense at all. In the movie they act as if there is no proof of his deeds, although there is heaps of proof. They collected DNA evidence, they found that he beat a kid with a hammer three years prior, the way he conducted the murders matches the case descriptions exactly, he stole a car and he has called all of the missing girls.I was so angry at the end of the movie. I just wasted two hours with a movie about catching a brutal killer...he is caught...and then...lets just set him free to kill yet again in his unpatrolled empty neighborhood in broad daylight and then he walks back home to bury more dead bodies. RIDICULOUS!!!If you want to waste two hours with a ridiculous story about a murderer being treated like a princess, watch this.
It's not a joke, I did just open an IMDb account to warm other people that this is worse than a waste of time. This movie did get a strong emotional reaction from me, but it wasn't suspense. It was anger at how stupid all of the characters are, from start to finish. The script is terrible, relying on ridiculous coincidences to move the plot along. If this is supposed to be a critique of police corruption and incompetence, it is a critique written by a complete outsider, an outsider to common sense, someone who lacks basic understanding of how police might think and work. Nothing that happens is plausible. All of the main characters should have dropped dead of stupidity. And it is very predictable. Venting my anger is the best part of this movie. This is Mystery Science Theater 3000 material.
This is a thriller movie (inspired from true story) with a new level of unpredictability in number of scenes. Firstly, the rapidness of the screenplay pace. At 30 minutes itself, the killer is found by the protagonist which is quite new and there is no flashbacks from then on, yet the movie goes on. The movie is filled with violent/gory scenes and I certainly enjoyed the bgm during chase.I've felt was the humor at certain seemed to me inappropriate to the theme (may be I don't speak Korean so good) and the situations and the investigations were far too unbelievable,IMO.To me, I couldn't chase it (appreciate the beauty of screenplay - if any), but you still may.So go ahead and watch it.
