"Suspense Thriller, "Chaser" Sweeps Korean Film Awards"
And I can't understand why. It's got a plot twist so mind-bogglingly stupid and ill-conceived that it should have won a Dumbest Screenplay Ever award instead (and a Most Overrated Movie Ever award). Of course, I am being generous by saying that Chaser has something that could be characterized as a plot. There were much better movies released this year.

I haven't seen this movie yet but I have heard both good and bad things about it. I think I will still watch it despite the mixed reviews.
