bulgaria but mentally lost
Hm, after seeing all these positive comments about Exit I start to wonder if me and the other viewers have watched the same movie. People are praising it so much and I can't see why. So I decided that it'll be good to share my point of view which appears to be very different.
In the first place, I prefer my movies or dramas or whatever to make sense. Exit makes close to zero sense. So many things that happen in the movie made me lose brain cells. Nothing was properly explained, the characters' actions were questionable most of the time. There are things that are supposed to make no sense and because of that they do make sense. Exit is just ridiculous and there was no reason for it not to make sense. You can make a funny movie without having the characters to act utterly stupid.
And the other thing, mixing thriller with comedy? I'm just not a fan of this idea. It's so hard to make things work with this that it's almost impossible. I saw that some reviewers and people who liked the movie mentioned that it kept them on the edge of their seat. But I just didn't care about anything, the movie isn't thrilling at all. Because 1) the characters weren't introduced well and they weren't likeable at all which led me to not care about them dying and 2) the whole atmosphere is so weird that it can't be taken seriously. You just know that noone will be in danger even though the situation is quite serious. I mean, it is quite serious. And other than that, our MCs are supposed to be rock climbers, but they almost had supernatural powers and quite good jumping skills. The script was very weak in my opinion and they worked hard to cover it up with some good directing skills.
The acting was overall good, Jo Jung Suk is a great actor and he's good at everything he does. But oh god, Yoona... I love her but I don't think she's a good actress at all. Her crying scenes were especially awkward. They had zero chemistry with Jong Suk and their out of nowhere romantic scenes were just another thing I found really bad in this movie.
And yes, I know that this movie is made mainly to entertain people, but I didn't find it entertaining at all. The solo scenes of Jung Suk's character at the beginning were funny and that's all about it. I wouldn't even say that this movie can be watched just to pass time. It's not worth it. Giving it a 3 because of the effort of the director and the effort of the actors.
