With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. Power and ambition drive every scene. Shelve it next to The Batman or Milk.
- The mood
- Tense.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 2 hr 10 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
For the first time in Korean history, the mayor of Seoul attempts a third term in office, with his entire campaign team ready to soil their hands.
