Na Hong-jin's thriller "The Chaser" is now running at full throttle after a quiet start at the box office.
Since its release on Feb. 14, 1.7 million viewers as of last Sunday have bought tickets, edging the Hollywood sci-fi thriller "Jumper" from top spot.
The film was also sold to France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Greece and Hong Kong at the Berlin Film Festival this year.
The film's success owes much to Kim Yoon-seok, the award-winning supporting actor from "The War of Flower" (2006), "Like a Virgin" (2006), and "The Happy Life" (2006).
Kim, 40, plays former detective Jung-ho, who gets fired for taking bribes. He's now a pimp in charge of a bodobang, an illicit "happy ending" massage parlor.
When the prostitutes under Jung-ho's management start to vanish, the former cop starts his own investigation.
He discovers that Young-min (Ha Jeong-woo), posing as a customer, has seduced and killed them.
The JoongAng Ilbo interviewed Kim Yoon-seok in Samcheong-dong, central Se...

Unlike what its title might suggest, director Jeong Gil-yeong's "Our Town" is not some fuzzy family drama. It's a crime thriller where five women are brutally killed. Not another serial killer story, you may say. But, again, the film kills your expectations as it takes you on a novel cinematic experience ― a flight into the mind of not one, but two, killers on the loose in what could be "our" neighborhood.

First off, the title needs some explanation. It is a literal translation of the original title "Uri dongne". A Los Angeles Times column (July 24, 2006) once highlighted how the Korean language thoroughly reflects the collective nature of Koreans, who prefer the unassuming "we" over the individual "I", and thus leads to the stapling of group pronouns "our" (uri) rather than "my" in front of objects. So saying "our house" or "our town" creates a communal sense of ownership and establishes a sense of mutual connection.

That's the irony. Thi...
