Diving to the Depths of Mistrust
Diving to the Depths of Mistrust

If ever there were a film with so many mistrustful protagonists in it, “Marine Boy” would go near the top of the suspicion list. Not surprising considering Cheon Su the water boy of the title as been drawn into a gangster's drug smuggling racket after he reports a gambling racket of cheating him out of winnings. Crossing paths with drug mobster Kang (Jae Hyun Jo) by his gambling fiasco, Cheon Su’s freedom becomes compromised when he as to smuggle drugs as one of Kang’s ‘Marine Boys’. Life isn’t all bad though when Cheon Su meets a glamorous and sexy jazz singer (Si Yeon Park), a ‘daughter’ of Kang who also wishes to change her life style with Cheon Su’s help. With a cop on the trial of Kang and a contact of Cheon Su’s, the plot thickens to so much mistrustful danger levels that all characters are suspect of ulterior motives. Jae Hyun Jo as gangster boss Kang is a brilliant actor and chilling in this role and having great international appeal. Si Yeon Park is also getting nice meaty roles lately and her sultry, dangerous and beguiling femme here is another good addition to her already credited film parts. Since I first watched her in “My Girl” K-drama she’s blossomed and honed her skills well. Last but certainly not least is Kang Woo Kim who has a really cool and suited role here as the ‘marine boy’ of the tile. This has quite a complex plot, especially where characters find themselves in such desperate and dangerous situations that trust is a difficult attribute to adopt. In fact by all the splintered loyalty and double motives a great deal of logical paranoia is a their only survival mechanism. All keeps you pondering till the finish to see if any two people actually do stay ‘together’ here. This film would be enjoyed by action spy thriller fans and very close to a James Bond type movie. Villains are very like the Bond types with Kang at one point battering a philandering womanizer with a frozen fish to death. The deep sea water elements bring water action Bond thrillers to mind and of course Si Yeon as done it again as performing a sort of Bond girl to Cheon Su here (considering her “Dacemahema Lee” role). Nice one, Shi Yeon, nearly a Bond girl twice. A more Hollywood sort than K-movie, but with a good script, cast and some riveting cliff-hanger moments (arf), this is quite the exciting and enjoyable movie. Good extras too, with Kang Woo and Si Yeon at a film screening that seem to have more screaming fans than F4 and Shinhwa put together. |
