The Raincoat Killer: Chasing a Predator in Korea

When I used to watch older Korean crime movies, it never would have occurred to me that the cops in those movies were taking inspiration from real ones. But it seems they really were that bad twenty years ago. The level they've taken it to nowadays is absolutely unbelievable and admirable, and for me, that's probably the most useful information in the entire documentary. Otherwise, unfortunately, I didn't like The Raincoat Killer very much. It's an interesting case, but unfortunately the filmmakers failed to work with any kind of suspense, the interviews with the people involved in the case are not very engaging, and the whole thing is told in a kind of lukewarm way. The Chaser will suck you into the case a lot more. Maybe even more than you'd like. (24/02/2022)
