‘Project Silence Review: Survivors Are Dogged By Disaster In A Silly But Serviceable Korean Action Flick
Fog, dogs, and noxious fumes are just major setbacks for a group of misfits who decide to survive Kim Tae-joon's "Project of Silence," a far cry from classic Korean action series but a good stop in the rain. Sunday until next. Co-written by Park Joo Suk and Kim Hong Hwa, Kim Hong Hwa's screenplay is a bit like a disaster movie formula: it's hard to believe it took three human screenwriters to get it done. Given that his most insane luxury adds dozens of super-dog-slaves created by the government, it may have been created in part by algorithms.
At some point in the genre, a rather strict rule emerges that the chaos in the Fallen Mason department can only be justified if everyone somehow repairs the relationship between a parent (preferably a single) and their deceased child. Surely the death of hundreds of passengers and damage to infrastructure estimated at nearly a trillion won is a small price to pay for a daughter's newfound respect for her suddenly loyal father?
So we meet Jung Won, the divorced and last-ditch advisor to the current presidential candidate, played by Lee Sun Gyun, who also played a parasite of the wealthy in Parasite, but hasn't been a problem since the 2014 fantasy series Tough Days Were More. . Jung-won is so busy looking after his boss's interests in the upcoming elections that he openly declares that they are unable to serve the country. Only half of him voted for her, further driving distance between him and his daughter Kyung-min (Kim So-an). And he decided to continue his musical education in Australia. They argue about his connection to a children's book written by his late mother and, in cold silence, head to the airport.
Along the way, Jong-won argues with gas station attendant Joopak (Jo Ji-hoon, character), who learns that due to heavy fog, a car, truck, bus, and poisoned tank of petrol have piled up on the bridge. . And he decided to follow them with his truck. This traffic accident caused by a sports car crossing a highway without a clear view of the live broadcast is our first real experience with director Kim on a disaster relief mission, and it's really cool. Connecting the vehicle to the vehicle in a way that makes it logical from a material point of view, with complete extravagance.
However, the accident occurred on the city-facing side of the highway, so it posed no real danger to Jung-won, Kyung-min, and Jupak on their way to the airport or to the military convoy the clones landed in. to the top. Attack dog groups are consistent with their behavior and follow the sound of their prey. As long as these dogs stay in their homes, everything will be fine! reader, no. The Silence Project released, as coded, a group of CGI kidnapped dogs. The apparent lie in the creature's design is a godsend and shows that no matter how many of these animals die, no real dog is harmed.
The leader of the group, in fact the Organo Gold prostitute from whom everyone else was cloned, skillfully removes an inhibitory chip placed in his head by evil scientists (so evil that part of their plan is to kill a bunch of puppies). Thus, Mama Kojo has regained her killing spell and is now seeking a very just revenge on humanity, along with the project's lead scientist, Dr. Yang (Kim Hee Ung) can't stop it. Most of the extra background budget is quickly eaten up by dogs, and Poseidon is left with only a small group of people, including a kind old man who lovingly cares for his aging wife, a circus golfer and a caddy. Adventure' finds its way to safety.
The sound-activated aspect of dog programming suggests it may have some formal, pointless kinship with A Quiet Place, but Project Silence is actually pretty loud, with all that crunchy metal and whine, not to mention listenable. Shim Hyun Joong's angry soundtrack explodes. The details of how and why the dogs were attacked remain unclear, but who cares when acclaimed director Hong Kyung Pyo (Parasite, Burn, Broker) is on hand for good grades, and Kim proves he can connect the chain reaction of causal impending disaster. Of course, the ending has a sequel. And this step is enough, because even if no one is choking on Project Silence II: Bark in Business, no one is shouting about their expectations either.
