Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

CelluloidDog A bit of a surprise since I was expecting a bit more horror than comedy in this Korean flick. It actually is a vegetable/fruit blended drink: horror, comedy, gangster, mystery...But Korean films are among the most original. Surprisingly I just looked up director Jeong-won Shin who really hasn't had any other gems or slew of Korean movies. It's cleverly written by In-ho Hwang and Chang-shi Lee. The gangsters are a fun type with a monk-like and a Smeagol type hood. They confront a group of farmers who aren't quite the farming type. And a ghost haunts the place as the comedy-mystery unwinds. Just a clever, quirky movie with great humor and original screenplay. The gangsters were the strong point in acting and cinematography could have been better as the filming color and exposure was inconsistent. But regardless, this film surpasses 80% of the popular Hollywood type. Definitely a must-see. My real rating is a 7.0-7.5/10 but given the scant attention it gets, let's bump the film up a notch.

reallyevilboy This is a great movie.As you've probably guessed by reading the other reviews, it's more of a comedy than a horror and it has some very funny scenes.It has the usual flavor of many other South Korean movies. Extreme off beat humor mixed with a plot that twists and turns until you're facing a completely different way.If you decide you need to see this movie and have trouble finding it try searching under "Sisily 2km" because that was the name of the movie we saw.Extremely funny, well worth the watch.

Simon Ferm I recently noticed a broad addition of korean movies in the Netflix library and decided to watch this one (along with The Yellow Sea and The Chaser).I started watching it expecting it to be another one of those korean psychological horror movies but I soon had a change of mind as this movie took a comedy-turn for the best.A cheesy and hilarious script, stereotypical character personalities and many huge turn of events. Don't expect to be scared out of your mind, it does have a few fairly surprising moments but in general this movie got a huge focus on comedy.I loved it!

suite92 Our protagonist, Seok-tae, is a thief who murders his friend then flees. He seems amused as his friend suffocates during their last telephone conversation. Nice start. When he sees the sign 'Sisily 2km' there is another sign warning of serious accidents in the area. As per cliché, he decides to put out his cigarette, thereby taking his eyes off the road, then rolls his SUV off the road through the guard rail. Apparently he's a man of robust good luck, since he was able to walk the 2 kilometers to the town of Sisily.The setup is clearly that Seok-tae has a hard time during the film, and he's moving there swimmingly. His friend told him that their mutual boss will kill him in three days. One can only hope.Seok-tae faints under embarrassing and humorous circumstances. The locals think he's dead, and also find one of the diamonds he stole. While walling him up, he rouses and won't shut up. They give him an extra shovel to the head. They have no idea that he swallowed many of the diamonds.The gang arrives and sets about provoking and bullying the locals. The idiot relative to an even bigger crime boss is with them. He keeps finding just the right things, and they keep ignoring him.During the first night staying with the locals, the thugs start getting rattled from bad dreams and waking hallucinations, plus the locals doing Buddhist chants to drive out bad spirits. That trend continues the next day, though a bit more slowly in the light of day.The assassin named The Monk keeps talking about local ghost lore, including the Virgin Ghost. The Monk tells them that the Virgin Ghost type is afraid of 'man things' which results in ridiculous and funny visuals. The thread that allows Seok-tae to 'survive' is hilarious. When the crooks recover the diamonds, the locals find out there were several. After that, they attack the crooks and do rather well, but not well enough, of course.There are several places where the movie might have ended, but the comedy was not exhausted yet. Will the ghost resolve this, or just the normal course of real events? Loved the Virgin Ghost's explanation of who the local farmers really were, and the lead gangster's discussions with her.-----Scores------Cinematography: 8/10 Super in daylight exteriors. Not too bad for the darker interior and night shots.Sound: 10/10 Rich and kind to the ear.Acting: 8/10 Hate the character Seok-tae, since he listens to Chuck Mangione. (That's just me, of course.) On the whole though, I liked the acting.Screenplay: 9/10 Pleasant comedy of errors; nicely directed.
