An unsettling psychological thriller about a man - Lee Jong-su, who meets an old childhood friend - Shin Hae-mi, who persuades him to housesit her cat while she's on vacation. And when she returns from vacation she brings a new friend - Ben, whom she met while stranded 3 days at an airport.
From here, events build. An unlikely protagonist, an unsettled plot, another brilliant film that simply wouldn't be made in Hollywood.
Five Stars for those looking for a little more challenging films.

Summary - battling corruption in Brazil's Police, Politics and Favela's. For a police/crime movie, very well done, and probably doesn't stray far from the truth. Were it set in present day America it would be merely telling the truth...
The Secret Agent - Brazil, 2025

About a former professor fleeing persecution under the Military Dictatorship that was Brazil in 1977.
Well done, period, well acted, a look into a former political clime and place...
These foreign films, they're head and shoulders above anything being produced in Hollywood.
