Movie No. 34 (2017): THE TARGET
The Target (2014)
Director: Yoon Hong-Seung (aka Chang)
Cast: Ryu Seung-ryong, Lee Jin-wook, Jo Yeo-jeung, Yoo Jun-sang
In Korean, with English subtitles
It may take sometime to see the connection of the opening scene to what seem to be unrelated scenes in the succeeding series of events. But the tension created by such scenes is solid. When everything makes sense during the first 20 minutes the remaining scenes are just like the usual concert of rehearsed choreography of cat-and-mouse chase. I'm not suggesting the Hollywoodish formula. There's still the Korean cinema stamp, which makes the movie still interesting. The ending is predictable; but the road to that ending is pebbled with some interesting twists.
