A dark, strange and pretty entertaining movie, Rough Cut has everything in it. I still haven’t decided if it’s because of the plot, or because the leading characters are two of my favorite actors. Kang Ji Hwan plays a troublemaking actor. He lives his life as if he was a gangster. For his next movie…
The Tower Korean Movie Review 2012
I tend to scape catastrophe movies, just because American ones made me loose faith in them.
