I went into this film, excited, but not really knowing what to expect. I had heard some great things from one of my friends in Korea, who is a critic himself, so he had me sold on it, but even then, his details and praise were pretty vague. All I know is that Jeon Do-yeon is my favorite actress, and so naturally, I am always down to see whatever film she stars in next. This fanboy loyalty (I worded that weird) led me to one of my favorite Korean films I've had the pleasure of seeing in quite some time.
A modern noir, complete with awesome atmosphere and great dialogue, The Shameless is a gigantic web of bad people out… -
Que buena actriz es Jeon Do- Yeon -
Well shot, but let's face it, it's one of those elevated boredom kinda movies with an overly melodramatic ending that will make your eyes roll. -
bleak as heck bit of neo-noir, a little too cruel for me to personally really enjoy. jeon doyeon is given so little to work with 😬 all the men were 🚩🚩🚩 and how is park sungwoong in literally every korean film? -
i will watch paint dry for jeon do yeon -
men ain’t shit
jeon doyeon, one of korea’s greatest actors -
i would do anything for jeon do yeon -
A dirty cop (Nam-gil Kim) falls in love with a prostitute and girlfriend of a suspect he's assigned to arrest...
Just about middle-of-the-road drama suffering from a terribly miscast lead and some serious pacing problems. The core relationship of the movie never feels true even though lead actress Do-yeon Jeon tries her best to flesh out her clichéd character remaining the only one evoking some sort of empathy here.
The plot isn't very original which is a shame (put intended) for a Korean movie and only really kicks off in the final 15 minutes. It's very well-shot and far from being unwatchable but overall THE SHAMELESS was a disappointment for me.
Make or Break Scene: I didn't make the movie after all but the finale elevated the movie a bit.
MVT: The locations.
Score: 5/ 10 -
Almost arrogantly slow.... which works for it. The acting is top-notch and the pace makes the important moments effectively stick out. Not exactly a happy love story either. Is perhaps a little too confident in it's story telling, but that doesn't stop it from being a quality drama which bubbles beneath the surface. -
A nice noir thriller/drama mixture about an investigator who falls for Jeon Do-yeon's femme fatale/not so femme fatale.
The story itself isn't as original as one might hope which the premise might just have given away, but Do-yeon brings in another of those superb performances of which she has delivered about half a dozen by now and the score makes proceedings a delight with it's mix of mysterious woodwinds and tragic cello playing.
Ambiguous, mysterious, a tad too long yet superbly acted, definitely worth a watch. -
I need to knock a few more off before Noiruary turns into Noirch. The Shameless is pretty good, especially if you are of the mind that love is the worst feeling in the world. I would recommend this movie absolutely to someone who just broke up with their significant other, or to someone who thought it was time to break up with their significant other. Betrayal and the rationalisation of betrayal is a major theme here, so bonus points if your S.O. (or you!) cheated on the other person. -
매우 얄팍한 스토리. 아니 빈약하다고 해야겠지. 그런데, 온전히 후까시로만 만들어진 재곤캐릭터와 준길이캐릭터를 역시 클리셰로만 이루어진 혜경이가 완전 하드캐리. 어케 이러지? 박성웅이나 김남길이 못하는 배우들도 아닌데 전도연 옆에 있으니까 받쳐주질 못하고 질질 끌려가네....완전 잡아 먹혔다...전도연+상대역 둘이 붙는 씬마다 전도연 밖에 안보임.. (송강호 정도는 되어야 전도연 연기를 받아줄 수 있는 것일까...)
영화가 심심한 것이 온전히 배우탓만은 아닌 것이 일단 준길이나 재건이나 혜경이나 인물들이 너무 전형적이고 개성이 없음. 그냥 어디서본듯한 멋있으라고 만든 남주, 나쁜 남자지만 매력있는 서브남주(이불덮어준 디테일에 뭐가 또 좀 있나했지만 그게 다임) 혜경이도 어찌보면 뻔하디 뻔한 상처받은 여자인데 이 차이는 뭐란말인가. 걍 혼자 영화 한편을 하드 캐리해~ 하드 하드 하드캐리캐리~ 흔들었다 들었다 놔~ 하드캐리해
상처위에 상처. 더러운 기억 위에 또 더러운 기억. 진심이야? 대사 하나로 혜경의 삶이 어땠는지 십년 서사를 한번에 만드는 전도연. 도랏네 증말...
