Featured review
The plot tripped itself and never recovered...
I am partial to agree with a fellow reviewer whom stated that "Golden Slumber" (aka "Goldeun seulleombeo") is hard to follow.
When I sat down to watch the 2018 South Korean action thriller "Golden Slumber" I hadn't even heard about the movie, so I didn't know what I was getting into here. But the mere fact that this was a South Korean movie was sufficient enough to make me sit down to watch it.
I will say that "Golden Slumber" started out alright, but about halfway through it seemed like director Dong-seok No was struggling to make sense out of what writers Ui Seok Cho and Hae-jun Lee had done with the material from Kôtarô Isaka's novel. And the movie not only lost its momentum but it tripped over its own legs, got tangled up in itself and never really recovered. And the rest of the movie was just a serving of scrambled incoherency.
Always amazes me when a movie sets out to accomplish way too much and manages to only deliver a fragment of what it sets out to. And "Golden Slumber" is one such movie.
It should be said that the acting in "Golden Slumber" was good, and lead actor Dong-won Gang definitely carried the movie quite well with his performance.
If you enjoy action thrillers, then "Golden Slumber" is not really a movie that should be at the top of your to-watch-list. In fact, there are far better action thrillers readily available in the South Korean cinema.
I am rating "Golden Slumber" a very bland and mediocre five out of ten stars.
