(Left is the frictional John)
"Monopoly - Thriller. Directed by Lee Hang-bae. Kyung-ho (Yang Dong-geun) is an unsociable computer genius whose only companion is action figures that he has collected. Arich guy John (Kim Sung-soo) approaches him in an action figure store and they become friends. John suggests an irresistible offer to join a scheme to withdraw money from every bank account in Korea. Kyung-ho is tempted. However, John's girlfriend (Yoon Ji-min) hints John will take advantage of Kyung-ho and tells him to stay away from John. But Kyung-ho's unconditional belief in John makes him join the plot and puts his life in danger.
When you watch such films as "Sixth Sense" and "The Usual Suspects", you reach a point when you realize you've been totally deceived throughout the film or that your guess has taken you in the wrong direction. Reaching such a moment of realization means you lost the guessing game, but you can still find film fun just like you enjoy a magic trick. New crime thriller Monopoly tries hard to play tricks on audiences _ to offer them such realization in the end.
Directed by Lee Hang-bae and starring Yang Dong-gun and Kim Sung-soo, the film revolves around two friends who team up to commit a crime. In the film, Kyong-ho (played by Yang) is a computer genius, who works at a network security company protecting the nation's banks from computer hackers. He is sophisticated, intelligent, but unsociable, and his hobby is collecting action figures and playing with them.
His humdrum life faces unexpected changes as Korean-American businessman John enters the scene. Kyong-ho is immediately attracted by John as he seems to have many characteristics Kyong-ho has long admired.
Their relationship hints at homosexuality, but John asks Kyong-ho for a dangerous favor _ to help him to hack the bank network server and withdraw a small amount of money from almost every bank account in the nation.
Kyong-ho discovers John intentionally approached him for the plan, but he can't help but get involved as he finds himself already enmeshed in the crime. The film begins with Kyong-ho in an interrogation room confessing to how he met John and became involved in the crime. His recollection gives audiences clues and invites them to play a guessing game as to how things have been bugled and how they will end."
This title kinda reminded of the moment i last played the game.
Kar Ho and I was owned by Yang Long and we ended up spending a lot of paper money to Yang Long.
The opening story was showing the secret police dealing with a man and a woman.
I was taken into the belief that there is another man who control this man and woman.
Leaving no evidence for police, it was so convincing that this another man was too good that he make things hard for police to arrest.
But in the ending, the another man became a friction person that a man create it as a story.
Even whole nation was hooked and tried to arrest the wrong man.
It is quite comparable to hollywood's "The Usual Suspects" but this movie is way better than "The Usual Suspects"
I prefer this John than Keyzer Sozer.
Rating:10/10
Back to the real life,I mentioned Irene.It is a friction character that a guy created to play with me.
After all,there are too many doubtful evidences and i didn't made the move on that girl whom Vishal pointed at.
Too bad,it is not good as the "The Usual Suspect" or "Monopoly"
Likewise,it doesn't really matter tobe angry with.
Trick or not, i didn't lose anything after all.
Imagine that i am that cop listening his story and i will have lost my face because the whole nation has lost over 4 trillion wons by then.
Just now i was walking to Enous MRT station,i saw a young teenger running over a road and then sudenly turn back.
He bent so as to pick something on the road.
From afar i see, it was $5 note in green colour despite of my short-sighted.
He quickly ran to the road divider because the cars were apporaching.
As the cars passed by,the $5 note flew towards.
He couldn't do anything other than waiting until there were no more cars.
