For the Movie: REALISM AT ITS BEST - For the cinema of South Korea: THE CINEMA AT ITS BEST
14 September 2015 | by (Turkey) – See all my reviews

I have been keeping track of South Korean cinema for some time. I liked each movie I have watch. This was really good. South Korean fellas, no offense but I couldn't understand who is who once upon a time. Nowadays, especially after watching some, I began to get used to it. Real success in terms of each characteristics. The Suspect (2013) has nonstop action moments. Visual effects were magnificent. Blood, wound, gunshot, gun smoke, being hit by a bullet... ALL WAS SO REALISTIC. It might be provided by South Korean hi-tech. Naturalness and talents of the performers were also so realistic. I think this country's cinema is one of the best. I plan to watch more from it. Because of our historical bonds (I am from Turkey by the way, it may read near my name or something.), I also feel close to South Korean people. Supposedly, there are lots of things that causes me to watch this and other South Korean productions.
