No Country for Old Men meets Pulp Fiction” (THR) might be the best summary of this meteoric debut about the fateful, slow-mo collision of colorful lowlifes who clash over a bag full of cash left in a locker room. The first one to find the bag, Jung-man, has sleepwalked through life working at a sauna. This could very well be a turning point for the part time worker. Or it could be a lifesaver for customs officer Tae-Young (Jung Woo-sung), who borrowed a considerable sum from a loan shark. The cash inconveniently vanished, along with enigmatic girlfriend Yeon-Hee (Jeon Do-Yeon). It’s game on!
