Release date: September 2010
A pair of gangsters with their victim locked in a car trunk, a man who visited his coma-stricken wife in the hospital and his engineering-student son, a wife furious with her husband’s gambling, a support group for depression sufferers – these disparate groups of people will all become involved when a woman committing suicide throws herself on the freeway and a pile-up ensues. When the whole crowd is assembled in the police station, they will find out she has given them the key to the final, million-won question of a quiz show. The group sets themselves to prepping to become contestants on the show.
In a signature move for
director Jang Jin, a widely (and wildly) varying group of people end up all assembled
in one place, with madness ensuing. With an all-star cast (rumor has it stars
leap at the chance to join the cast on a film directed by Jang), the humor and
gags are exquisite and they just keep on coming. Jang Jin is, without a doubt,
my favorite director. Jang himself appears in the film as a police detective.
My
take: 5 stars... no, 6 stars! I LOVE this film!
The whole chaotic group
involved in the suicide
and resulting four-car pile up hits the police station.
