Moss -- Film Review

Winding, weaving, and occasionally losing its convoluted way, "Moss," the latest from director Kang Woo-Suk, takes a turn away from the popular filmmaker's traditional action comedies ("Public Enemy") and historical dramas ("Silmido") to dabble in the psychological mystery thriller.

Winding, weaving, and occasionally losing its convoluted way, "Moss," the latest from director Kang Woo-Suk, takes a turn away from the popular filmmaker's traditional action comedies ("Public Enemy") and historical dramas ("Silmido") to dabble in the psychological mystery thriller. The film succeeds to about the halfway point until its narrative weight becomes overwhelming and it starts to collapse in on itself ahead of a fiery finale.
