No Other Choice - Critically Acclaimed Movie with Heavy Topic Which Should Please Fans of Festival Films

After weeks of missing out on recent movies in the cinemas, yesterday my wife and I browsed through various options in several locations & decided to see this film. It was something that we were interested in due to the cast, though we did not have knowledge of the story. Anyway, after finishing our important errand in the morning, we finally head to the studio and saw the film at 3.20 PM.

Brief Story Line

Man-su (Lee Byung-hun - Concrete Utopia, Squid Game TV series season 2 & 3 etc) was a manager in paper factory for 25 years and living the dream life with his wife Miri (Son Ye-jin - The Negotiation, Thirty Nine TV series etc) and their two children & two dogs. However it suddenly turned bad when he lost his job.

After months of having difficulties in managing their finances, Man-su decided to go for the only available job. But he had to face stiff competition from people more suitable such as Gu Bum-mo (Lee Sung-min - Handsome Guys, The Queen Who Crowns TV series etc), Go Si-jo (Cha Seung-won - Uprising, Our Blues TV series etc) and the one still working in the company, Choi Seun-chul (Park Hee-son - My Name TV series, The Policeman's Lineage TV series etc). In order to ensure he got the job, Man-su really went to the most extreme. 

Mantis - An Interesting Addition to the Kill Boksoon Universe

After having a one month vacation with my wife out of the country and busy with our itineraries, we finally returned home last night where I decided to watch a film released on Netflix end of last week. It was something that intrigued me and seemed like a no brainer kind. OK let's just get started then.

Brief Story Line

Lee Han-ul (Yim Si-wan - Unlocked, Summer Strike TV series etc) was a well known assassin with nickname Mantis and worked for the largest organization called MK. After the events in Kill Boksoon, Mantis who just returned from holiday was surprised with the latest condition and not sure of what to do next. Upon meeting with Jae-yi (Park Gyu-young - Sweet Home TV series, Love + Sling TV series etc) who used to be assassin trainee with him during their time with MK and their other friends, Mantis decided to form a new group and took on small jobs.

Eenie Meanie - Could Have Been Better Heist Thriller Movie

After some time focusing more on other streaming services, I started browsing Disney+ a couple of days ago and found this movie which was originally released on Hulu. Apparently it had been made available since 22 August so I missed it for more than a week. Although the synopsis was too brief, the thriller genre mentioned on Disney+ was what made me intrigued. Without further ado, here's more on the film.

Brief Story Line

Edie (Samara Weaving - Scream VI, Snake Eyes: G. I. Joe Origins etc) used to have a dark past since her teenaged years but managed to turn her life around by returning to college and working in a bank. However when her ex boyfriend John (Karl Glusman - Civil War, The Bikeriders etc) made a fatal mistake that hurt the business of major criminal Nico (Andy Garcia - Expendables 4, Ghostbusters 2016 remake etc), Edie had no choice but to fulfill his demand of working on a  heist.
