Koreans are the godfathers of the modern
day thriller and the plots they conceive are far more original than the ones
being created in Hollywood and the rest of the world. They also tend to
intertwine the basic crime plot with some deeply disturbing family
relationships, like the one between a mother and her mentally challenged son.
„Mother” will let you see what a mother
is capable of doing when it comes to protecting her son that has been accused
of rape and murder. Female lead (Hye Ja-Kim) is so good that
she will irritate you all the way to the unthinkable dillemas and twists at the
very end. However, the basic plot stays rather thin, downsizing the acting
accomplishments.
„Mother” is „just” a solid thriller with
a great female lead performance.
