Summary: A quartet of disaffected Korean youths have robbed a Seoul gas station. Later, while hanging out in a Chinese noodle shop, they decide to rob the same gas station. After taking the gas station over, their wacky antics ensue; forcing the manager to sing, kidnapping customers that complain about the service, and staging fist-fights between street gang members and gas station employees; all of these reflect their own gripes against society.

Silly and absurd, which is probably what the filmmakers were going for, but the comedy lacks wit and verve. At the same time, the violent and terrorizing felony kidnapping essentially gets a free pass as we are supposed to sympathize with the perpetrators. I'd say I was taking all this too seriously, but then I go and read about the supposed incisive social commentary in this film. Um, no.

The concept is really original, but it is not a comedy to laugh all the time. The characters awaken us in two extremes. One, is funny and nonsense that they do. On the other hand, is so empty. This is a great idea.

Complete ridiculousnes thrown into a two hour package. Not saying that's a bad thing though.

I don't think "wacky antics" is an appropriate description, because that seems too dismissive, but it is a lot of fun. There are four mercifully brief flashback segments that attempt to explain the motivations of each character, all of which would probably have been more effective had they simply been implied, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment.

I really loved this movie. It speaks to me in several ways, and it does a very good job, like many other Korean films I've seen, of letting fun and entertainment shine through in a story with deeper meaning. The politics aren't very subtle, but they aren't meant to be; this is a film that wants the viewer to know just how displeased its makers are with the direction the world has taken, from its treatment of "inferiors" to the greed-driven mindset forced upon the youth. But it's also very fun!
