Panic Room (2002)
Tight suspense
The film explores the basic psychology of survival in a clever, well-timed manner. The characters play a cat and mouse game with unpredictable twists in the house. Given the length of the film, it may be too much to ask for more character development and better dialogue, especially for the chief baddie. Altogether an unexpectedly enjoyable ride!
Hwajangshil eodieyo? (2002)
Like its name suggests
It is a strange film. I kept wondering the whole time what the theme/main plot/purpose was. That seemed to be public toilets and people seeking miracle cures for the terminally ill. If you like it, you might think it reflects life - absurd/inexplicable events, chance encounters, hope. If you don't, you might think that that's just an excuse for incoherence. There's no real resolution of the many plots that interweave, unlike Hollywood's predictable endings. Many images of sewage water and real filthy public toilets are repulsive. Personally interesting: seeing South Korea, India and NY through realistic images.
