Seriously Flawed

Rating: 1/10 (20 January 2020)

It is incomprehensible to me that this film is acclaimed and possibly heading for an Oscar.
The primary flaw are the subtitles. The dialog has been translated by a poor cousin of Google Translate and NEVER reviewed by someone who speaks English. Grammar is out the window. Literal word translations miss the meaning. Subtitles are often flashed up so quickly that a native English speaker doesn't have time to read them.
The result of this subtitle travesty is that the plot is very hard to understand, particularly the mid-movie plot twists. The overall plot is clear by the movie's end and decidedly unremarkable.
The cinematography is excellent. The actors seem competent but reminiscent of Jackie Chan.
Overall rating a one ... of course the Hollywood sophisticates will disagree. Don't bother watching this unless you understand Hangul.
