Tell Me Something
Director: Yoon-Hyun Chang
Starring: Suk-kyu Han, Eun-ha Shim, Hang-Seon Jang, Jung-ah Yum, Jun-Sang Yu
A crackerjack serial-killer chiller in "Seven" mold, Tell Me Something cleverly disguises its thoroughly generic content and leaps of logic with highly honed technique and an involving approach to narrative.
A complicated and stylish Korean thriller that will make viewers' skin crawl.
Stylish, sullen, and a little predictable, Tell Me Something is the match of any American film in its quasi-genre, though you suspect that without a world market to target, it might've been even more anxious and intrepid.
It doles out information so arbitrarily that you are robbed of the twin pleasures of figuring out clues and figuring out you've been fooled.
For all the blood spilt -- and there are gallons of it -- this is a surprisingly understated thriller.
