Another nail biting thriller from Korean movie makers I guarantee you that it will keep you edge of the seat thriller. It is one of the greatest script and it was well written with an outstanding screenplay. You might have seen more kidnapping movies but am sure that it will stands tall above all because the depth of the story. I must say about that lead cast everyone done their part very well. Korean's background always top notch so does this..!! At the end I was shed a tears and share deep feeling with main character when she hugged the tree and call her daughter's name some movies very rare like this you shouldn't miss it.

It had been a long time since I have seen such a well rounded thriller, where motives are not cliché and predictive. The acting jives extremely well with the dialog (albeit I watched with sub-titles) and the actors were awesome.The mother's acting was so realistic that in empathizing with her, a layer of understanding is added to the storyline. The story neatly makes a subtle point about the similarity in human motives, and how where you stand in relation to it, determines your perception.The use of time is very interesting in this movie, like an origami. It starts as a plain paper (linear), but takes on elaborate form. There are a couple of movies where this technique has been used, but in this case, the time/origami texture is seamless.I am sure the above description might sound abstract and arcane, but if you watch the movie, you will understand what I mean. :)A gripping and intelligent thriller, a must see.

I am so happy that I watched this movie ...Not only just the great story, great acting, and great directing. This movie somehow move you at some point. I was blown away by how this story well written and put some message in it. At the end I was shed a tears and share deep feeling with main character when she hugged the tree and call her daughter's name as well as when the kidnapper told his story. I mean WOW ... some movie like this is very rare ... so you should see it for yourself.I praised the writer ... director and actors ... to bring the gems into cinema. BRAVO

The Koreans have gotten good at producing solid thrillers from B-Movie material hammered to death in other titles over the years. "Montage" is no exception.The movie opens as the statute of limitations is about to expire on a 15 year old kidnapping case. Single mom Ha-kyeong (UHM Jeong-hwa) lost her daughter. The perpetrator appears to still be around, however, leaving flowers at the site, and police detective Cheong-ho (KIM Sang-kyeong) makes one last attempt at catching him. He comes real close, sitting across from the guy in a cafe, but time expires. Then another child is abducted, following the exact same pattern as 15 years earlier, sending the movie off on a fascinating turn of events.I left the movie with a sly grin on my face, marveling at how the whole thing in fact was put together. This plot is worth following.The movie also has a lot in common both in style and themes with the equally impressive "Confession of Murder" (2012), which also concerns the statute of limitations.I'll admit I have a soft spot for thrillers like this one. The movie is fast, it's smart, and there's no shocking violence, no nudity, no super hero doing mindless action, and the Asian melodramatics are kept to a minimum.In fact, this is a good, honest thriller with the story at its core.
