a very nice...

South korean thrillerdrama, telling you a bonecollector like fairytail, with a whole lot of realistic vibes on our digital livelyhood, and complete trust on the digital devices that has become a mustve just to survive in our new brave world, a film about how lost and found can turn a life into 1000 pieces, because the relentless truth of today is that youre digitized whether youd like it or not, and when youre registered its easy to collect data on you, just like apharteid and stasi did back then, and a virus , malware or spyware can and might take over your true self...a bit longdrawn this opportunistic story is, and if youre a western, have in mind that this is made for the south korean market, an audience that are far more digitized that most citizens of the western hemisphere. I felt the creeps all the way through, predictability was hard to make, and the musical score that enhances the drama, so a recommend from the grumpy old man.

Technology is a scary factor

New Korean content on Netflix, Unlocked, is an interesting and thought provoking movie about being heavily consumed by smartphones these days. While this is not the first movie to tackle this subject, it did a good job in delivering a realistic wake up call about the dangers of social media without any sugarcoating.The pacing was good and the story delivered an unexpected twist in the end. It was suspenseful, it was urgent, and it was generally well made. Si-wan as the antagonist was convincing, although I felt that the thrill could have been more given it's genre. If you're looking for a thrilling watch instead of a bubbly rom-com this February, Unlocked is one to turn your attention to.My Rating : 7/10.

(5.5 Stars) Decent But Lacking Something Special

Storyline 1: Girl loses her phone. Weirdo finds phone, installs spyware and proceeds to destroy girl's life.Storyline 2: A body has been found on a mountaintop. Detective thinks his runaway son might be involved. With a bit more investigating, more bodies are found. Yep. We've got a serial killer.IMO, South Korea has found a niche in producing quality thrillers. With films like Oldboy (2003), I Saw the Devil (2010), Blood and Ties (2013) and The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil (2019), there's a nice collection of films that can keep you on the edge of your seat. Each has a special something that pushes it into an above average watch. It could be the actors portraying their characters, the story itself or the way the film progresses but each film has a little something extra that makes you lean back after watching it and say, "That was good." While I didn't have that moment at the end of this, it was still a decent watch.The story is somewhat cliché and predictable. It was lacking a true sense of drama and thrill. The actors delivered good performances but they all failed to reach above and beyond. The stand out, for me, would have to be our weirdo. There's something about the smug, arrogant narcissist that gets under my skin and keeps me hooked simply because I want to see this guy get what's coming to him. That's what really kept me interested.It fails to be driven by a sense of vengeance like what is seen in I Saw the Devil (2010), the urgent thrill of something like The Chaser (2008) or the strategy and action one finds in The Divine Move (2014) but it is an okay watch for a weeknight on the couch. If that's what you are looking for, check it out.
