White Night (South Korea, 2009)

A pawnbroker is found murdered in a remote town. Police suspect that he was murdered by an acquaintance, as even the most experienced investigator on the case could identify no signs of resistance. Three people come under suspicion but all of them have perfect alibis and the investigation comes to a standstill. Almost fifteen years pass and the lead inspector, now approaching retirement, reflects on the only case he could not solve in an otherwise successful career. Haunted by a sense of responsibility and guilt that he caused suffering by letting the murder case go unsolved, he decides to re-investigate.

White Night is one of the better thriller's I've seen in a long time. It has a great cast, stunning camera work and is just as intense and exciting you want a thriller to be. It's a little longer than two hours, so there's nothing undeveloped with these characters once we're through. Solid as a rock and tight as a drum, White Night is a fantastic and competent thriller that should not be missed by fans of the genre.


Genre: Mystery/Thriller
