There are quite a few characters in this Korean thriller concerning a lost and found bag of lots of cash to keep track of. Luckily they do a pretty good job of tying everything together by the end so it all makes some sort of sense even if the conclusion is a bit too happy for my liking. The closest thing you can compare this to is, of course, PULP FICTION, with the time-jumping narrative and multiple story-lines. It does manage to not seem like some trendy 90s retro-piece though like so many Tarantino-wanna-be's have done over the years. They also don't really skimp out on the violence with people being sawed into pieces and a character that apparently likes to eat all kind of intestines. Pretty impressive work for a first time director, Kim Yong-hoon.
