\nFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 7:00 P.M.
\nDir. Park Kwang-hyun. 2017, 126 mins. With Ji Chang-wook. In Korean with English subtitles. A paranoid thriller with a high-tech edge, Park Kwang-hyun\u2019s (Welcome to Dongmakgol) latest film pits a team of skilled video gamers against a mysterious underworld organization in a battle that rages through both the physical and digital worlds. When Kwon Yu (Ji Chang-wook), a former tae kwon do star turned video game addict, is framed for murder, his gamer friends come to his aid and in the process uncover a vast, murderous conspiracy. This nonstop thrill ride of a movie mixes jaw-dropping action scenes with pointed commentary about socioeconomic inequality in today\u2019s Korea. Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter calls it \u201can updated version of Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy set in the world of online video games…. Featuring a fast-paced plot and a snappy visual style, Park’s absorbing third feature should appeal equally to high-tech enthusiasts and action film fans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
