Disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (2 March 2020)

Like many of the Users reviewing this film, I had high hopes when I rented it.
I thought it started out well. Unlike some of the reviewers, I kind of liked the family of grifters (especially the daughter). In fact, my initial rating was 10 stars; however, as the movie continued, the stars began to fall by the wayside.
If the movie would have been about a family of grifters, who use imaginative ways to imbed themselves into the lives of a rich family, and then develop a storyline from there, this would have been a likeable, if less imaginative, movie. Unfortunately the plot veers significantly away from this by first introducing a weird, and unbelievable character living in a basement fallout shelter, and then, turning violent and bloody for no apparent reason.
It's too bad as the movie started out with so much potential and some truly comic scenes (i.e. leaving the windows open for "free fumigation" and the little boy's "surrealistic" paintings which are nothing more than scribblings).
And no, don't tell me that I need to have a better understanding of the socio-economic conditions within modern day Korea to truly appreciate this movie. It's not my job to educate myself in order to appreciate a movie. It's the movie's job to allow me to appreciate it. If it doesn't do that, it's a waste of time.
