Stoker
Dir: Chan-wook Park
2013
**
With Chan Wook Park films you are guaranteed a visual treat but you are also usually guaranteed an original and engaging story. Ok, so the film looks great and is original but it has no flare and musters very little interest. The only thing that keeps you interested is the anticipation that sooner or later it's going to get really good but this never happens. I didn't think much of the performances either. A real disappointment, hard to believe this is the same guy that made Old Boy, I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK and the Vengeance films.
