I dare you watch this interesting thriller movie ‘Compliance‘ in full-length. Not even a drop of blood or gore; but I had to take a break for a while watching this one. Described by one US critic as possibly “the most disturbing movie ever made”

Based on a true story, this provocative indie film has caused walkouts and post-screening shouting matches. The New York Times called the film “a slow-motion punch to the groin”, as it succumbs you slowly into painful Quicksand.

What’s aghast is, this true story happened in 2004, at a McDonald’s in Mount Washington, Kentucky. I get to know at the end that it was the last of more than 70 such incidents that occurred over the course of 10 years in US !

It could be watched with an interesting psychological point of view and a stern lesson for anybody who are meek enough to take phone calls seriously.

If you think you’re up for ‘slow-motion punch’, don’t miss “the most provocative film of the year” :)

After a long time, another damn interesting Korean movie played  at home theater – Silimido (2003). Silmido is the name of the island, the core story unfolds.

The movie is based on a true story. Also,it has many elements of psychological realism.

In 1968, a group of North-Korean commandos cross South-Korean border in an attempt to assassinate Southern president. The South-Korean military intercept the commandos before they successfully accomplished their mission.

This scandalous attempt outrages the South-Korea intelligence agencies, and therefore decide replicate the North-Korean attempt by sending their own group of 31 men behind the Northern border to kill the North-Korean leader.

The unit is loaded with convicts, 31 men with nothing to lose with either life imprisonment or death sentences hanging over their heads ! 31 men  undergo rigorous military training. They become perfect soldiers.

The idea is ludicrous at best. Suicidal at the very least. How will this band of ragged would-be soldiers manage to pull of such an impossible task?
