Luck-Key [2016]
Luck-Key [2016]
Original Title: Leokki
South Korea
Director: Kae-Byeok Lee
My Rating: 5/10
I watched this on Netflix thinking it was an action movie, I was surprised but not disappointed to discover it is actually a comedy. The premise is kind of stupid, as is almost anything involving amnesia. This might be intentional as part of the plot involves a shitty soap opera type television drama, the type of show that would happily use the amnesia plot cliche.
Despite the stupid premise, it is actually funny in a silly, feel good sort of way. The good will it earned with me collapses in the end with an implausibly bad finale. All logic goes out the window, and what would have been an otherwise decent comedy ends up being pretty average. I simply don't want to watch a movie that takes place in the present, but also is in a universe without photo ID, and where everyone except business executives watch television dramas.
