Original score by Jung Jae-il. Worth a dedicated listen after — most great films lose half their impact without the score.

Editor Kim Sang-bum shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

Intriguing at first but goes downhill after gas poisoning, becomes routine mindless, gratuitously violent in the image of 'Hollywood'. Shame, it was going well until that. The final beach and eatery scenes were back on track but too little too late.
