Mindful Plot; mindless violence
18 May 2003
The story of this movie is simple. An on-line gamer has all his weapons stolen by another user named Viagra, so he tries to track down Viagra to get his weapons back. In the process, due to many coincidences, he ends up killing many people without getting what he wants. There is another parallel plot that a couple tries to hide a body. All these are happening under the subtext of the Japanese versus Korea football game in real time.

The movie is rather clever in telling us many details about the tenants within the short time frame, so we feel for them instead of a 1-dimensional victim to be killed. Underneath all the violence and sex, there is also a clever plot that one phone call started this all.

I enjoy this movie. It has the right level of violence and intrigue. The lesson of this movie is also intriguing. That young people of today are too obsessed with senseless violence on the on-line world and are ready to kill in the real world as well.
