day 87 - Psychometry aka The Gifted Hands (South Korean)
"
Yang Choon-Dong (Kim Kang-Woo) is a detective who rarely gets results. One day, a woman comes to the police station and reports her daughter is missing. The other detectives don't take her case seriously, but Yang Choon-Dong believes it could be a real kidnapping case. His boss lets Yang Choon-Dong work on the case alone.
Late one evening, Yang Choon-Dong wanders down an alley to take a leak. Right next to him is a young guy (Kim Beom) with a hooded sweatshirt covering his face. The young guy appears to have finished spray painting graffiti on the wall. Yang Choon-Dong begins chewing out the young guy for vandalism, when the young guy sprays Yang Choon-Dong in the eyes and disappears into the night. "
Should have been longer, so it could have told a better story. Overall not bad, though there were a few holes in the story. Like there's no real closure with the female character that seemed important but towards the end is never mentioned again. So it was hard to understand why she was added if they were not going to give her more depth since she is a key character in the film.
Also Yang Choon-Song's stupidity was almost too painful to watch, it added a little too much comedy to a movie that should be serious. I have to say that Kim Beom did a good job so did Kim Kang-Woo but I wish they made his character have more depth. Also the little girl in the film was so cute and did a great job.
