Another good movie from Yeon Sang-ho.

South Korean cinema is one of my favourites so I was looking forward to watch this new movie from director Yeon Sang-ho. I really enjoyed watching his previous movies Train To Busan and Jung_E, both movies that I scored with an eight. Revelations is not as good as the other two but it is still a more than decent movie. Another genre, a crime/thriller this time, with good actors and a story that was pleasant to follow. Sure towards the end the crime solving got a bit too easy but still a decent movie in this genre. As for the cinematography that was very good again, almost like usual I would say when thinking about Yeon Sang-ho.

Decent Korean crime thriller

Yeon Sang-ho's new Netflix film is a psychological crime thriller about a pastor whose life unravels after an accident and a haunted detective surveilling a serial kidnapper.The main plotline juggles these two characters and intertwines their stories for what is essentially a throwback to an earlier era of Korean crime dramas. You know the kind of film: a rainy, dark and atmospheric experience that wants you to feel the misery at every turn. Yeon anchors the police procedural and ticking-clock thriller elements to a character study which grapples with themes like guilt, faith and mental illness. So it's definitely more ambitious than an average genre film. The result should be even better than it turned out, but it also could have been a lot worse, were it not directed by a skilled hand like Yeon's.Of the two storylines that we follow, the pastor's is definitely more compelling. He's a timid character who does diligent work inviting new members into his small church community, but after a sinister man appears on his doorstep he begins to slide into a different person altogether. The detective's story is a clichéd one, not exactly badly written but bland and overly familiar. She sees her sister's ghostly apparition on a regular basis, and feels guilt after her suicide. So she takes special interest in the serial kidnapper who held her hostage, and is on the loose again after being released from prison. As I previously said, these people will all eventually meet in one way or another, and it is then when the film is most interesting.There are flaws though. Yeon introduces plenty of melodrama and a gloomy heavy-handedness into the film early on, and it gets a bit tiring to follow all these people being constantly miserable. The narrative also suffers for it, taking its time to get going while we wallow in all the depression the film throws at us. It would have been a better decision to let things play out with more restraint, and there were times when I wondered what Na Hong-jin or Bong Joon-ho would've done with this story. But, as it is, Yeon also did a fairly good job, all things considered.Technically this is a very well made film with plenty of atmosphere, quality production design and even a particular one-shot confrontation that marks the film's dramatic high point. As a whole, Revelations is a worthy addition to the genre which probably won't sweep you off your feet, but is a decent, sometimes thought provoking time killer.

A decent watch!

Being a fan of Korean movies, I was thrilled to see what this movie is going to bring. I must say it isn't a masterpiece south korean thrillers out there but it's definitely worth watching.The acting, the dialogue and the direction was all in sync with the story. What fascinated me to watch this movie is the way how one can be deceived from what they believe.I felt the last 15 minutes could have been more polished in terms of writing to justify the whole process and to keep the audience engaged as I felt that the end didn't leave an impact on me but nevertheless it has it's good moments.A decent watch!7/10 for this one.
