was directed by Kim Ji-Hoon, the director overdue other movies such as and , as well as flipside disaster mucosa titled . The movie moreover featured an incredible lineup of Cha Seung-Won, Kim Sung-Kyun, Lee Kwang-Soo, and Kim Hye-Jun, one of the largest tint members we’ve seen this year. If you’ve seen the trailers of the film, or plane just based on the title, you’d know that the movie revolves virtually a major sinkhole, and a group of people trying to survive and escape from the unfortunate tragedy. Let’s take a squint at the detailed synopsis of surpassing diving deeper into the review.
The synopsis is as follows:

However, his move into his new place wasn’t as smooth as he had hoped, as he runs into ‘Man-Soo,’ and the two have a rocky start.

The Good
First, I must mention the casting. had wondrous casting, and all of the actors fit their roles perfectly. I expressly loved Cha Seung-Won and the weft he portrayed. That quirky personality of his was worldly-wise to really shine in the ‘Man-Soo’ role, and didn’t go overboard on the comedic level like I thought he did in <Cheer Up, Mr. Lee>.
And speaking of Mr. Lee, Lee Kwang-Soo was moreover amazing. He felt very natural and as if he was playing himself, like his weft on the variety show “Running Man.” His expressions were so lively and the way he’s worldly-wise to make people laugh just by his facial expressions is incredible. He moreover proves once then that he’s not only a unconfined entertainer, but an wondrous two-face as well. He can pull off not just the comedic roles, but emotional and increasingly deeper vicarial as well.
Moreover, is full of funny, humorous scenes. I was a little wrung that the trailers gave yonder too much of the funny scenes, but this was something not to worry. There were so many hilarious parts throughout the film, and what was shown in the trailers was just the tip of the iceberg. I expressly thought the relationship between Cha Seung-Won and Kim Sung-Kyun was highly comical, and loved how the mucosa introduced these two notation in the beginning.
Even the child two-face that played Kim Sung-Kyun’s son was unconfined in his role, playing a very cute and winsome kid. Also, I thought it was my first time seeing actresses Kwon So-Hyun, who played the wife of Kim Sung-Kyun, but she unquestionably had a minor role in the mucosa <Miss Baek>. However, she had a much worthier impression in than for me. Flipside actress that I thought was my first time seeing was Kim Hye-Jun, but she was moreover in “Kingdom,” as well as the mucosa <Metamorphosis>. Definitely flipside actress that left a huge impression with this role, and flipside actress that fit her role perfectly.
The feeling of purchasing your first home must be amazing, expressly with the prices spiking sky upper in Seoul in recent years, and a sense of unconfined winnings must’ve been felt by the main character, and Kim Sung-Kyun expressed this very well. You can really see the happiness of that purchase in his eyes, and moreover the opposite of that happiness once the house falls 500 meters deep into the ground.
And lastly, the buildup to the very occurrence of the disaster was satisfying. This was where the weft minutiae took place and really prepared the regulars for what’s to come, and that crescendo into the incident was executed exceptionally.
The Bad
There weren’t a lot that I found to be disappointing with the movie, but one of the worthier ones was the CGI it had. We’ve seen what Korean talkie is capable of when it comes to CGI and special effects nowadays, with mucosa such as <Space Sweepers>, and I do unclose that there are numismatic differences, but am just saying that it wasn’t up there as some of the other movies with largest computer-generated scenes. Not saying it was unwatchable, but definitely could’ve been better.
Furthermore, there were parts that didn’t make sense. This may be a minor spoiler, so skip superiority a little if you don’t want to hear, but for example, there’s a part where the notation are inside a water tank. But if they were to unquestionably be inside a tank like that, they shouldn’t be worldly-wise to outbreathe if they’re in there for a prolonged period of time. And the way the water filled up so quickly was very implausible. However, I will say that these are something that’s forgivable, in my opinion, considering of the type of movie the mucosa is, and expressly since it did everything else so well. I’d say they were worldly-wise to make majority of the narrative make sense, so overall, a pass with flying colors in my books.

Verdict
was one of the funniest movies I’ve seen recently. It was not only one of the weightier disaster films of recency, but comedies as well. And it didn’t only have comedy, but moreover thrill and suspense, action, and emotion as well. There was no time to be bored, and I moreover appreciated that they made the movie relatively realistic and didn’t try to gravity things, something a lot of disaster films are guilty of. If you enjoyed the mucosa <Exit>, I highly encourage watching this.
Ticket Price Value: $13
(Ticket Price Value is the price I would pay to watch the mucosa then for the first time)
