Seven Years of Night

After three years of waiting I finally got to see it and unfortunately I am disappointed. It's more of a revenge drama than a thriller, there is no action, which sucks when Jang Dong-gun is available. The story focuses on a man who accidentally hits a little girl with his car (the strongest scene of the film) and dumps her body in a lake. Her father is a feared man and decides to find the culprit no matter what it takes. Beautifully shot, the cinematography and visuals are of a very high standard, the actors are also excellent, but I missed the suspense. The atmosphere is thicker only at the end and the Koreans avoid violence this time, which is a pity, because I was expecting the works and as a result I leave with an uneasy three-star rating. It's a good film, it just didn't really grab me and keep me interested. 6/10. (14/03/2021)
