Realistic modus operandi of tech crime
The storyline has a similar genre to Netflix's Unlocked movie, which is also about smartphone stalking, and the fear inducing hunting has almost the same level of terror as Tving's Midnight, a legendary Kmovie about stalking. Here the movie takes a more practical approach to the notorious tech crime. The plot is really innovative as it features the realistic modus operandi of the criminal, the pacing is great with nail biting suspense. Meanwhile for Shin Hye Sun headlining this movie, I knew she's gonna be great for this role and it really is, her acting performance is freaking insane. The ending is so crazily scary, I'm gonna get PTSD after watching it.Was this review helpful to you?
A movie full of suspense and excitement.. you should not miss watching it (^-^)/
Starting from buying second-hand items on an online shopping platform, Soo-Hyun (Shin Hae-Sun) fell victim to a scam and intended to report the fraudster. Instead of getting her money back, she found herself subjected to a series of relentless terrors.Korea has never run out of storytelling ideas, and in this film, Korean cinema explores the issue of online shopping scams that have victimized many.
The story is meticulously crafted, and its mystery leaves the audience questioning who the real culprit is. Terror after terror is delivered gradually with various ‘crazy’ methods that keep the viewers on the edge of their seats.
Shin Hae-Sun delivers an outstanding performance, and the villain’s presence is filled with malevolence that makes the audience feel afraid whenever they appear.
The various terrors depicted, coupled with the investigative elements from the police, left me intrigued by the story until the end.
The climax is brilliantly executed, with an escalating intensity of terror. Many viewers applauded when the film concluded.
For fans of the thriller genre, TARGET is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat!

The film is wonderful
Although I do not like horror movies, this movie was very wonderful, the events were unexpected, and the acting was very, very wonderful. With the same heroine, she played her role in a wonderful and very strong way. I loved the movie a lot, even though it was somewhat provocative, but it was wonderful and it teaches you something: not to trust a site that sells used items, not to trust anyone’s words, and not even to trust me, but what you have to trust is that this movie is wonderful. ???.Was this review helpful to you?
Unmasking the Digital Menace
In 'Target,' the narrative delves deep into the chilling world of cyber exploitation, where a malevolent hacker seizes control of every electronic facet of a girl's life. The film unfolds as a nerve-wracking thriller, keeping the audience on the edge as the protagonist's life becomes a pawn in the hands of a faceless adversary.The relentless misuse of technology adds a sinister layer to the plot, where the perpetrator, demanding ransom, plays a dangerous game. The escalating tension keeps both the victim and the audience in a state of perpetual suspense, and even the police find themselves grappling with an elusive digital phantom.
'Target' stands out for its portrayal of the dark side of cyber intrusion, elevating it to a cautionary tale for the modern age. The film's ability to render law enforcement powerless in the face of relentless hacking creates an atmosphere of uncertainty, making it a riveting and thought-provoking cinematic experience.

Walmart version of Unlocked
This movie was straight up ass.Not one likeable character in there, everyone was so annoying, ESPECIALLY the main character. Holy shit I’ve never been more frustrated in my life while watching a movie???!! not even when I watched the call.
Half of the shit she did was just so stupid and the polices reaction to her literally being doxxed and broken into is hilarious bruh. They noticed it getting serious and still allowed her to stay at home??? What the hell bruh…
Also wtf happened to the manager and why did they just skip over the fact that he was found dead in her apartment like wtaf???
The only sorta likeable character was the detective and the younger detective who ended up dying.
I feel like most of the shit that happened in this movie was for shock value and none of it even made sense at all, they just tried to make some kinda smart/scary hacker movie but this was just plain stupid.
From the beginning the main girl pissed me off, constantly whining and the choices she made was just so…like girl please be fr. Once the stalking and harassing started, she legit did nothing but whine some more and do nothing like atleast move away??
Also the girl who came as a witness (literally the most direct victim of the killer), why was her story so dismissed??? She came on to testify and then……nothing???????
How did the younger detective figure out to check the files that were apparently stacked under a bunch of older cases files and found matches ??????? ? Just so many plotholes its so stupid.
Also how did she never question why they suddenly installed a cctv camera outside of her apartment. Sure she might’ve assumed its for her own safety but like, you know you’re dealing with a hacker whos stalking you, this shit is literally their forte and she never even bothers to ask about it? Like yeah she just fuckin accepts it.
I won’t even nitpick on the fact that she never noticed her ENTIRE apartment being covered with cctv cameras, like sure maybe you don’t look up at your ceilings often but surely you wouldve noticed the 10 new big ass fire detector looking things drilled into your walls …?????
Also what the fuck is wrong with the police there? Why are they leaving the site just because she left her apartment when they KNOW the killer still has access to her house and mainly enters it when shes not home. And they barely even tried to be unsuspecting bruh, were they thinking they’re gonna catch him?? A whole ass police car with white and blue colours and sirens on top, are they stupid? Also after they left in that one scene they NEVER showed up again?
Also if the killer is mainly on websites luring victims in then why is the police group that got the case, not even trying to catch him through that? Especially when that stupid ass idiot keeps having the same EXACT bio text. “selling this because im immigrating” , HOW IS THE POLICE NOT EVEN BATTING AN EYE ON THIS? Also after the killer escaped they just allowed her to be alone again?
When she fell unconscious, they just left her to go home alone? Unsupervised?
When the killer called her mom and she never checked up on her mom and asked her about it??????? Like what the fuck is this movie.
The only mildly entertaining scene was the car chase but even that was fucking hilarious because what the hell was she even trying to do half drugged in the backseat? Shes reaching for him as if she could even do anything?? The younger detective was the only one i truly liked honestly, he tried his best but how the hell did his car flip so fucking much when both of the cars were hit in one place i would’ve thought it was just hit in one go and there would be a huge dent on the side of it but not a fucking 10 time flip while the other car with her and the killer rolled once and the dude made it out fine but everyone else was on verge of death?
I’m pretty sure the cctv footage could’ve even caught the guy when he casually fuckin walked away from the scene, literally untouched? And why did none of the people who were around the car crash react to a dude getting out of the car and walking away like its a normal tuesday night?
Just plain stupid. And the friend should’ve been more persuasive about her staying at hers. She was so half assed about it. “Nooo come here im worried about u” like girl just come and get her bruh. Also why did she keep refusing to get away from that fuckass apartment and then getting shocked each time the killer found her??? Shes so stupid, this entire movie ruined my day. ASS ?

This is serious
Everyone who tried to buy or sell something on classified ads websites can relate to this movie. Personally I was scammed once when selling something, and almost when trying to buy a console but I can see and detect scammers on a daily basis whenever I scroll the adds online. There are too many scammers out there. Unfortunately they always use new tactics and we should all be careful when shopping and leaving our personal information online. This movie is a great warning for that."Target" is a very interesting and suspenseful triller. There are some typical Korean movie cliches inside but they didn't bother me because the story was very compelling and moved quickly. It kept my interest all the time and I would certainly recommend it to everyone.
Btw. anyone here want to buy my Sony MHC V13 Sound System? ㅎㅎ

Que medo
Senhoras e senhores que filme apavorante e real.Ele é uma história diferente de cúmplices filmes e séries que passam um pouco dessa temática Só que essa é uma história bem mais sangrenta e surpreendente em detalhes que chegam arrepiar a espinha.
Não vou dar spoiler mas não vou tirar nem tão cedo a cena em que ela senta no chão e olha entre as caixas de mudança e entre a penumbra do apartamento e a mente dela conturbada e a visão e já falha ela enxerga a cabeça do chefe dela no meio das caixas ensanguentada já aparentemente sem vida. E realmente estava sem vida.
Calafrios e muitos susto esse filme não prometeu nada e entregou tudo.
O elenco é maravilhoso e como sempre a nossa grandiosa inesquecível em todos os papéis que faz desde rainha a fotógrafa, mostrou Caras e Bocas bem diferente das habituais que estamos acostumados a ela foi super convincente em todo o desespero passado no filme sem pensar que isso são Vertentes de um relato real e de coisas que acontecem em todos os dias não só na Coreia do Sul mas em todo canto do mundo onde existe a venda online, porque o mal Nunca dorme e não descansa.
Assistam vão gostar ele não é mais do mesmo eu tenho uma pegada bem direta e diferente o que nos faz até refletir sobre a nossa segurança quando Possivelmente fica fazemos esses trametis de venda online realmente não estamos Seguro.
Cuidado.
E bom filme!

De roer as unhas
Sabe aquele filme para ficar com a sensação de desespero o tempo todo? De só esperar o susto? Então.. esse é assim.A gente fica o tempo todo se questionando sobre quem é o culpado, será um conhecido? Uma pessoa aleatória? Uma pessoa próxima?
Se a Soo Hyun soubesse o inferno que viraria sua vida ao bater de frente com um golpista, ela com certeza nunca o teria feito .
A cada filme com essas temáticas onde a tecnologia é usada para o mal, eu fico cada vez mais assombrada kkkk
