    Undeniably one of the greatest scripts to come out of the noir genre. Every line sizzles with a perfect back and forth ratatat rhythm. Love the structure too. The smooth romance of the first half giving way to a rapid decent into full blown incomprehensible noir plot in the back half. Glorious to behold.

    Do not look up anything about it. I saw it with no knowledge of what it was and it was an unbelievable experience. 

    Song Kang-ho is one of the greatest actors on the planet. 

    I’m really worried that Bong Joon-ho just made the best movie.…
