Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
I-Am-The-Movie-Addict I should admit that my love is going deeper n greater for South Korean films these days since years back I came across them where they not only enchanted me with their eyeing visuals & mind bending stories but also made me realize that they will surpass Hollywood also one day (no, Bollywood doesn't come near anywhere). Today by watching montage, I understood that they can bring old tale of child kidnapping and detective remorse of unsolved case out in a totally new form where questions n plot twists would keep defining the story n actions of characters. Their unstoppable telling can only fail if everything is going haywire but succeeds if kept answering the questions that come up in the viewers' hearts. Well, I recommend you worth having a look if fast telling n revival of clichéd tales brings interest on your face.
Nikolaos Vasileiadis This is my first review after rating thousands of movies. I'm very found of Korean movies after watching Oldboy several years ago. However, this is not a mainstream Korean movie, at least not in countries like Greece. Mont-ta-joo is a surprise for me since it is not as popular as other Korean movies (oldboy, memories of a murder, madeo etc.) but it is a great movie! The plot of the movie is ingenious with several upsets and with great acting (and not overacting). During the whole movie I could not take my eyes from the TV, trying to realize who could the kidnapper be. This is not just another kidnapping movie; it presents the drama of the victim and her agony, while it reveals slowly evidence about the conclusion of the case keeping tension at high levels during the whole movie. It also presents the investigators of the case as real people making mistakes and being affected by the victims.
Biswajit Panda It had been a long time since I have seen such a well rounded thriller, where motives are not cliché and predictive. The acting jives extremely well with the dialog (albeit I watched with sub-titles) and the actors were awesome.The mother's acting was so realistic that in empathizing with her, a layer of understanding is added to the storyline. The story neatly makes a subtle point about the similarity in human motives, and how where you stand in relation to it, determines your perception.The use of time is very interesting in this movie, like an origami. It starts as a plain paper (linear), but takes on elaborate form. There are a couple of movies where this technique has been used, but in this case, the time/origami texture is seamless.I am sure the above description might sound abstract and arcane, but if you watch the movie, you will understand what I mean. :)A gripping and intelligent thriller, a must see.
alshwenbear1 If you have seen as many films as I have in my life you may feel compelled to stop watching this movie, because, who cares about Another kidnapper, another obsessed and tormented mother ("Azooma") piecing the case together? and a hunted detective?. Seriously? How many times we have seen this and the (sometimes) over-melodramatic Korean style? Well,I am glad I pushed myself to see how this story would end! The clever and twisting last half of it, made me regret those times when I paused it to fix coffee,I am so glad I did not walk away when I felt a little bored with the "familiar" plot. The last thirty minutes will stick on your memory as one of those endings that must be watched again to savor a good writing,so rare and hard to find. Acting is good enough, in any case this is a must-watch, and I will recommend it to anyone who ask: Have you seen a good movie lately? So my rating 7.5 out of 10 for having such a clever ending!
