It is another highly completed, distinctive and ambitious Korean film. Aside from some flaws in the plot, it unfolds the story straight to the point. From the beginning to the end, there is no sense of sloppyness at all, with a strong black atmosphere, coupled with partiality. The electronic soundtrack and a little shaky realistic footage make people fully immersed in it.
As for the plot, just as the name "goes to the end", a lie needs a thousand lies to make up for it. If you choose a sin, you will have to go to the end and lose your blood, and you will find that it is too late to turn back. Even if you go from willing to helpless, just for the so-called status, wealth, and everything you don't want to let go but can't take away, people often choose to bite the bullet and go down. This is not nature, it's just you Learning from the people around you is like watching movies when you were a child and liked to learn the actions of heroes, but when you grow up, people are more inclined to compromise with society and make peace with the bad people around them. Small evil follows big evil, but there is no small evil. Where is the big evil?
All the scenes of Lee Sun-kyun in the film are amazing, especially the scene in the morgue, which is extremely brilliant. The director still continues the Korean film noir style, marginalizing the characters in the film: there is no absolute good person, and there is no absolute bad guy. This setting has become the mainstream line of Korean thriller dramas. It is a sharp knife. Cut the reality with a sharp edge called extreme, and cut it open for you to see. When you take over this bloody audio-visual feast, you will be willing to devour it, and compared with other literary cakes and refreshments, or gorgeous A French meal, you won't want to eat it again and again, but come to the table occasionally, and keep chewing, more delicate than any meal, I think this is the great charm of Korean movies.
Overall, I've been blown away by this film.
