Day 51 - Mr. Socrates (South Korea)









"Asking for money to his father imprisoned in jail, threatening a friend who became a murderer by mistake, stealing money from his friends…KU Dong-hyuk (Kim Rae-won) is the worst scumbag you can ever imagine. Living a low-life like a street dog, one day, Dong-hyuk gets kidnapped by a mysterious gang. Being captured out of no reason, the gang trains Dong-hyuk in a secret and inhumane way repeatedly. Dong-hyuk tries to escape but fails, which makes the training more harsh and cruel than before. After finishing all the training, the gang orders Dong-hyuk to become a police detective as their secret connection"

A very interesting film, there was some comedy but there was also a seriousness to the film. Though the torture scenes could have been less comical but they still manage to make the tortures interesting. Kim Rae-won is an interesting actor, he makes it fun to see how he's characters develop. He might start out as a bastard but becomes an great person through being a true police officer.

2.5/5
