was directed by Kim Chang-Ju, who worked on the edits of numerous unconfined movies, but I believe is making his full-length mucosa directorial debut with this movie. The mucosa starred the leads Jo Woo-Jin, Lee Jae-In, Jin Kyung, and Ji Chang-Wook, and was based on the Spanish mucosa . In its first week of release, it’s been retaining the #1 spot at the box office, and unquestionably recorded to be the highest selling thus far in 2021. But does it really deserve that recognition? Before getting into the review, let’s take a squint at the detailed synopsis of .
The synopsis is as follows:

The mysterious voice warns that there is a flop in the car, and that it’ll explode if he gets up. Sung-Kyu assumes the undeniability is a voice phishing scam and doesn’t think much of it, until he soon witnesses his colleague’s car exploding in front of his eyes. Reality hits him, and he suddenly becomes the suspect in downtown Busan, with the police chasing him down. Unable to get out, hang up, or say anything to the authorities, Sung-Kyu must alimony the unknown caller happy, and save his and his children’s lives.

The Good
The movie starts off with a bang. It gets your heart going from the beginning, and with its preliminaries music, the undercurrent is really well made. As mentioned transiently in the synopsis, the movie gets real, real quick without the first explosion. It does a unconfined job at placing you in the shoes of the protagonist, and begs the question, “What would you do?” I’m sure I, as well as probably majority of other people, would think the unknown caller to be a scam as well. But once you find out the situation you’re in is real, how would you react?
And I think it’s considering it begs these questions that makes the movie very thrilling and real. The situation is something that you and I, and every stereotype person can find themselves in. It’s relatable, and you’re worldly-wise to hands place yourself in the shoes of the protagonist.
Also, considering majority of the movie takes place in the vehicle, there are limitations of what can be washed-up with the setting. However, I think they did a unconfined job at towers on those barriers and not letting it restrict the movie. The use of camera movements, angles, the shots it had, and just the cinematography overall was good and enhanced that action-heavy, suspenseful mood.
Furthermore, I thought that the tossing was washed-up great. Jo Woo-Jin played minor and supporting roles prior to this, and this was, I believe, his first time in a main, leading role. And I must say, he did a unconfined job. And it isn’t just him that was good, but the vicarial by the tint members were overall great; from the daughter role, to the oppugnant role, and the smaller, minor roles, there wasn’t anything to really mutter well-nigh the movie in terms of acting.
However, the movie wasn’t without anything to mutter about. Let’s move withal to take a squint at what I found to be the negatives well-nigh the film.
The Bad
Before going into the movie, I was worried that they gave yonder too much from the trailers. And ultimately, I think it did requite yonder too much, or more-so too much of the “good” parts. Considering it gave so much of the good parts yonder in the trailers (hence, the first half or so), it gets loose without well-nigh an hour in. As the mucosa progresses, it moreover gets a little too cringe and there were forced emotions. It was as if they were begging you to shed a tear, which makes plane the tears that were going to come out, go when in. Very unnatural.
Moreover, the story itself was pretty generic and nothing too special or out of the ordinary. Long story short, predictable.
And I can’t not mention this considering I think practically everyone that saw this movie, or plane the trailers, would think this. And I can’t include this in the good parts, considering it isn’t a good thing well-nigh the movie, but nor is it necessarily a bad thing. When watching you get the impression that this is a two hour long commercial for Genesis. I mean, I’m sure the Genesis GV80 was a product-placement, but it wasn’t just a regular PPL; it was literally like a prolonged, extended telecast for the vehicle. That, and the municipality of Busan; an endorsement for those two things.

Verdict
Overall, the movie was good for the first hour or so. There were lots of suspenseful moments and they were unconfined when they were there. However, it gets loose without well-nigh an hour in, and there were forced emotions and was cringe as it progressed remoter into the story. The takeaway? Let’s buy a Genesis and plan a trip to Busan! (Jk) But with the limited whoopee and thriller films we’ve had out of Korea, or I should say good ones, then this is up there in relative terms.
Ticket Price Value: $10
(Ticket Price Value is the price I would pay to watch the mucosa then for the first time)
