Dial H for Handphone
|
Although I’m one of the few on the planet that hasn’t got a mobile phone, I’ve always wanted to say ‘Yoboseyo’ when it rang if I had one. ^O^. Still, asset or bane, TV talent manager Seung Min (TaeWoong Uhm) certainly finds his lost handphone a curse with a compromising sex video on it. Not that fate would smile kindly; he’s cheated on his wife by having a sexual liaison with an actress-model Jin-ah so both can ‘get on’ (a fatal charm of ‘professional talent elevation’ that always rightfully fails) and also pays an hit contract on a fella his wife’s having an affair with. Seung Min forgets his handphone while paying a ransom to one of Jin-ah’s former boyfriends, who sent the dodgy love tryst video to Seung Min’s phone in the first place. But a video copy still lurks on Seung Min’s lost phone. Things further escalate when disturbed store manager Yi-Gyu (Yongwoo Park) finds Seung Min’s phone and seeing this sexual misdemeanor oppresses Seung Min by blackmailing him to seek revenge on Yi-Gyu’s irksome and annoying store customers. To get his phone back Seung Min as to smash a car and beat up a man jogging, all ‘grudges’ from Yi-Gyu’s convenience store. I don’t like elaborating what this film suggests, as I mistrust scandals and cruel half-truths. Mobile phones are a modern inventory and when lost can produce fatal circumstances in the wrong hands. But “Handphone” is certainly an excellent movie thriller with psychological and fast paced characteristics. Seung Min’s manic panic as he attempts to get his phone from Yi-Gyu also shows much black comedy absurdity and buffoonery. However the final outcome features a very nasty and violent confrontation between these two men, and a very tragic and sad it is, too. I felt sorry for the troubled wife Jeong Yeon. Who could blame her want for happiness with a good man when Seung Min was falling into greed and arrogance? She surely only wanted compassionate love. Yi-Gyu is psychotic but his daily life pressures, paying for his sick mother’s hospital operations, made him silently snap and use revenge via Seung Min as a way to kick back at society as a whole. Yi-Gyu is very wrong, but stifling circumstances cause him to press wrong buttons. Acting is brilliant and both TaeWoong Uhm and Yongwoo Park are top-drawer talents. “Handphone” is no doubt one of the best hard thrillers this year. A tense and electric ride, mixed with frenetic visuals that is sure to keep you watching till the end. |
