SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
View MoreIt's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
View MoreIf you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
View MoreVery good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
View MoreMovie: Midnight FM (18): Action/Thriller - KoreanPositives:The biggest strength of MIDNIGHT FM is its watertight, gripping and edge of the seat thrilling, suspenseful screenplay. Tension remains throughout the entire film.Soo Ae's performance is excellent, as is that of Yoo Ji-tae. But it's Ma Dong-seok who steals the show with his innocent and lovable act. The child artist also did a commendable job.The action sequences have been masterfully executed and are a definite treat to watch.The editing is excellent, and the film's grip never loosens. The climax is excellent.Negatives:Nil.Repeat value: YesMIDNIGHT FM is a mindblowing action thriller which must be seen at any cost!
View MoreI am a huge fan of the thriller genre, so it goes without saying am overly particular and highly critical about reviewing and voting for these films.It takes quite a lot to impress me to say the least.Now lets see, first, for people who say this movie is mediocre, did you once take your eye balls away from the screen,even when you knew who the culprit was already.Yea that's what i thought.I don't know what you people look for when you go to watch a film. You cant expect all the films to be an old boy or a memories of murder otherwise their would not have have been an old boy now,Would There!!!To give away the whodunnit factor in the beginning itself, which could have been a disaster and still make the movie as thrilling and interesting as it were just speaks volumes of this film.7/10 A must watch if you are a thriller enthusiast like me.
View MoreI had a fascinating experience watching this South Korean movie spoken in Korean (Hangugeo, Chosönmal) a language I don't even know how to say Yes or No with, even if my life would depend on it. I saw the whole movie without subtitles (more than two hours). It was a thriller, extremely well done, that kept me most of the time on the edge of my seat, panting with anxiety and fear for what I was suspecting was going to happen next (It didn't, something different did).After the movie was over I went back and saw it with subtitles. And you know what? I enjoyed it much more when I couldn't understand A WORD of the storyline! The actors were so good, the story was told so clearly thanks to a superb camera work and editing that verbal explanations were unnecessary to enjoy the film.Of course when I saw it the second time with subtitles I learned some things that dressed up the story a bit, but it wasn't anything that couldn't be understood without. That --I think-- proves that silent pictures were so successful because the image alone could tell you the story.Now, the movie as a movie: Excellent, I found it superb, one of the best thrillers I have ever seen. Absolutely enjoyable from beginning to end without a single moment where you could start feeling bored, so well structured and produced is this film.My recommendation: A 10.
View MoreKorean movies are constantly gaining popularity among the cinema lovers in recent times especially if you talk about brutal crime thrillers. Korean thrillers have their popularity for being weird, gruesome, violent but astonishingly natural at the same time. Midnight FM is another addition in that genre. I have watched so many Korean thrillers in recent times which are filled with extreme graphic violence and bloods, but Midnight FM seemed to be an exception. O course, bloods and killings are still there, but you will never feel disturbed or stomach cramp while watching this one, rather pure suspense will keep your neck high all the time.Apart from some other awesome Korean thrillers like The Chaser, I saw the Devil or The Yellow Sea, I can compare this one with the recent release Children (2011) for relying on pure suspense instead of extreme violence or blood. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, even though I didn't have that much expectation. A must see for all Korean thriller lovers.
