Although it doesn't show us anything new, Jeong Yeon-shik's tape «thefives»Is a product more than a resultón.
It is true that the film is somewhat far from modern oriental classics on the theme of revenge such as the Park Chan-wook trilogy, «Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance","Oldboy" Y "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance»Or from the Kim Jee-woon tape«I Saw the Devil“But that's not why it's a bad movie.
"The Fives" tells the story of a woman who seems to have found a way to get revenge on the murderer who took her husband and teenage daughter from her and left her in a wheelchair two years earlier. For this she is willing to give her life, and the idea is that four desperate people help her for a transplant, either for themselves or for a relative. Once the revenge she will take her own life giving them her organs.
Although it is quite predictable how the story will evolve and end, Jeong yeon-shik it keeps us attentive to the screen with a fairly fluid narration.
It is appreciated that the majority of Asian action films, such as "The Fives", go Straight to the point y Bluntly From the beginning. From the first minutes, the film enters into the matter and exposes what the plot will be, a pity that its ending is not worked in the same way, since the outcome, more than predictable from the credit titles, is too long.
Rating: 6 / 10
