The Big Scene (2005)

Wow!! I didn’t see that coming!! Is all I can see after finishing this film.

Choi Yeon Gi (Invincible Cha Seung Won) is a hot tempered diligent prosecutor who chases the truth till the end. One day he takes charge of an appalling crime of a young and beautiful woman. Prosecutor Choi starts digging in the case, the more he digs the more discrepant the results are. Faced by the complexity of the case and the big obstacle of having the investigations broadcast to the whole nation; Choi Yeon Gi find himself in a tie. When everyone else believes the case is solved; only Prosecutor Choi doesn’t.

The film starts as a typical investigation and mystery film but as it goes; it gets more intriguing, more enigmatic and more interesting. Cha Seung Won’s moments with Shin Ha Kyun –acting the main suspect; Kim Young Heon- are so mystifyingly nerve-wracking. The deep questions he throws at his boss (Sin Goo) and the cynical but meaningful arguments with his fellow prosecutor Sung Joon (Ryu Seung Ryeong) are priceless. The ending is astonishing and I never saw it coming.

This is an average film but that's not a negative. It's a crime thriller with an interesting story. What was really great was the movie is essentailly broken down into chapters. We watch as Choi thinks he has the killer caught red handed and then realizes, as more information comes in that may not be the case. I loved how all the fact were being pulled together from different perspectives. The part about the shaman I thought was wierd but it didn't really hinder the story. But what a twist ending. Worth watching at least once.

The biggest plus is this stacked cast. So many good actors here and once again Shin Ha Kyun was excellent. I loved Cha Seung Won, Ryu Seung Ryong and Jang Young Nam as well.
