"Talent manager Seung-min sees Yoon Jin-ah, a rising actress, as his one last hope to turn his life around. Just as Jin-ah is on the path to stardom, he receives a threat from her former lover and gets her sex clip on his phone. Seung-min tracks down the culprit and retrieves the tape but ends up losing his phone. He realizes there is one last evidence of the sex tape on his phone and anxiously looks for it. Yi-gyu, who found Seung-min's phone, calls Seung-min's wife and asks her to come pick it up. On the night the phone was supposed to be returned, Yi-gyu doesn't show up. Now Yi-gyu is the one holding the leverage. Seung-min tries to do everything possible to get back his phone but Yi-gyu's demands are escalating to the point of no return"
A lot of crap wrapped up and given to us as a film. Handphone happens to be one of the worst Korean movies I have seen. It was bland, everything was predictable and it felt like the director ran out of ideas in the middle of the film. The cast was well selected but poorly used as there is nothing that can save this film. The script could have been a thousand times better. I do like the grittiness of the film since it adds realism but that is the only thing that truly stands out to me. Uhm Tae-woong did well but his character wasn't well written. One member of the cast that shouldn't have been in the film was Kim Nam-gil
0.5/5
