I’ve watched a lot of Korean ethics films recently, and the biggest impression is that the damned 15-year lawsuit hasn’t been canceled yet? This one makes me feel even worse. The fact that more than 15 years have not solved the case can largely explain the incompetence of the police, but why should the consequences be borne by the victims and their families? This reminds me of another well-known South Korean film "The Missing Frog Boy". Five young children were brutally murdered, and the murderer was finally found (although the real murderer was still not found), but the murderer was full of faces. With a bloody smile, he asked, "What can you do?" The five children's lives have been lost, and the litigation period has passed, so he cannot be punished by law, which makes people feel deeply powerless.
However, the final criminal in this movie still got the punishment he deserved, and it finally didn't look so worried. The mother played by Yan Zhenghua is very moving, which is very similar to the feeling in "Princess Aurora". Because of the grief of her daughter at the same time, the image of the mother who has to pick up the knife by herself is vivid and profound.
This is director Jung Geun-seop's debut. In my opinion, it has been very successful. Although the use of montage makes the parts interspersed with memories and reality seem a little scattered, the whole plot gives people a strong sense of reality.
