Wow! Such a good movie.

Memorable, crazy movie

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A corrupt detective arrests some religious dude on charges that may or may not be false, and throws him in prison, where he is repeatedly brutalised. The religious dude demonstrates tremendous fortitude, and is eventually freed, whereupon he joins forces with the detective, who uses him to recruit new henchmen.25 YEARS LATER...Some bloke called Ryoo comes to the village seeking answers about the death of his father. Shenanigans ensue, and it transpires that the detective may or may not have been responsible. Also, the religious dude might or might not have been involved. Ryoo seeks the help of prosecutor Park, who is or perhaps is not corrupt.As additional murders pile up, secrets are revealed, and the plot lurches its way towards an anticlimactic final scene.Languages spoken: Asian.I rate Moss at 19.98 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a turgid 6/10 on IMDB.

the movie is about the guy visits the village as his father passed away during this phase he comes to know some real truths about his father he gets suspicious about his fathers death and tries to find out about his past could have been much better the production was not that good according to me the acting was decent the best thing about the movie was the sense of tension that was created if managed properly this could have been a great movie its not too bad but far from great i Acting - 8/10 Story- 8/10 Direction-7/10Could have been much better, i have seen a lot of Korean and thrillers and this one is far from best

Just to sum up how awesome this film was, I watched 3 other films on the same day as this one, and there were moments where I started to nod off in each of those. Not in Moss, and that was at least an hour longer than the 3 other films. It's a testament to the strong writing and complex plot, just how well I was emerged in the drama and tension. Moss takes place in a small town which has been specifically built for criminals that really want to rehabilitate. After one of the founders dies, his son comes and suspects foul play. He outstays his welcome and soon starts uncovering secrets of the town. Moss works due to its length. Where other thrillers try and condense the twists and turns and action into 2 hours, they often leave out humanity. Moss has some wonderful examples of humanity and some great characters. Corrupt detectives, suspicious townsfolk etc. All living in the name of justice, but their levels of hypocrisy are the secrets. The film holds up due to a wonderful subplot in which Ryu (the son) must team up with a prosecutor he has disgraced, in order to get to the bottom of everything. This relationship is fun to watch unravel, as they hate each other, but don't resort to annoying, childish, petty mind games. He may have been banished from the city, but the prosecutor is still interested in doing his job. Like many Korean thrillers there is a sense of humor, even at the darkest of times. It's shot beautifully, capturing the calming power of nature and the eerie reclusive feel that comes with it. The exposition scenes can be long and tiring, but they are inter-cut with flashbacks that remind us of the brilliant make-up work on show. A great, reliable, genre piece.

i don't know if you have noticed how good Korean film have been in the past few years. OldBoy, Chaser, i saw the devil change the way i looked at Korean cinema and thrillers in particularly. this one is no different, if not better. everything about it is great: the suspense, music, acting, story buildup, and even... the final scene. yes its a bit long, but worth every second, as you cant get bored with t, its just getting better and better. i had to go back to the movie thread to understand some of the details i missed / or deliberately left out to the viewers to decide... normally i don't like the directors do that to us "poor" viewers, but here i didn't mind really. all good. very good indeed.
