“When was the last time you saw a modern thriller with so much narrative and visual wit that you were simultaneously laughing and crying out in fear?” asked David Edelstein in his rave Vulture review of A Hard Day.
Lee Sun-kyun stars as Choi, a mildly corrupt cop who, while a little drunk and driving to his mother’s funeral, is involved in a fatal hit-and-run. His attempts to cover up his crime over a frenetic twenty-four hours only create an exponential set of new problems, as corpses pile up and a mysterious figure tries to blackmail him. A nail-biting thrill ride, A Hard Day is a perfect showcase for Lee’s talents, who Edelstein calls “a marvelous farceur, frozen-faced while physically hyper-reactive.”
(Dir.: Kim Seong-hun, Korea, 2014, 111 min., DCP, Korean with English subtitles)
