Beasts Clawing at Straws
Beasts Clawing At Straws demands attention and patience, but thus happily ends up amply rewarding both.
Beasts Clawing at Straws
A Luis Vuitton bag stuffed full of cash sends a group of hard-luck lowlifes on a desperate chase for the fortune in this pitch-black neo-noir crime thriller. Fish-mongering gangsters, a greasy cop, an "innocent" gym cleaner, a young prostitute, her wife beater of a husband, her ruthless boss and her clueless boyfriend all violently scheme to get their hands on the elusive bag. First time director Kim Yong-hoon's witty thriller is a beautifully constructed puzzle that with each double-cross, the pieces fall into place. Starring Jung Woo-sung from ASURA: CITY OF MADNESS and Jeon Do-yeon, award winner in Cannes for her lead role in SECRET SUNSHINE.
