Handphone

great movie
highly recommend! highly recommend! this is a great movie. like the story and the suspense associated with it highly recommend

Great acting
I am a frequent viewer of subtitled films but I found this one to be a little confusing. I am not sure if it was my fault or the film's fault, but I had to spend a little too much time trying to "figure out" what exactly was happening. Maybe I was not paying enough attention or maybe it was just naturally confusing. Not sure. The plot is about a cell phone that falls into the wrong hands and the efforts a man makes to get it back. Requires maybe a little too much suspension of disbelief but overall entertaining. It was very well acted, tense and quite violent at times. There are a some twists in the plot that definitely leave you guessing as to how things are going to come out. I recommend for fans of this Korean genre but it isn't for everyone.

"All of this for a phone?" An Intense Crime/Revenge Thriller...
Seung-min is the manager of a rising star, Jin-ah. Everything goes well until Seung-min receives a clip from a sex tape involving Jin-ah on his phone. He clears up the issue, but loses his phone with the career-ending material, anyway. Now, Lee-gyu has found the phone and terrorizes Seung-min; Lee-gyu reflects his own everyday pain onto Seung-min. Handphone is an intense crime/revenge thriller.

Handphone has a great story. It packs in intense dialogue, brutal revenge, and great twists. I like how the revenge takes place in this film, since it doesn't solely rely on violence. The characters in this film are well done; for example, Lee-gyu was an amazing character, someone you can hate but also feel bad for. This leads to the question: who is the real villain? The ending of the film was brutal, and effective. I also believe this film has an important message about cell phones, but maybe I'm looking too deep: in my opinion, the film shows that cell phones may be extremely...
