Directed by: Park Chan-wook

Synopsis: When family man Man-su (Lee Byung-hun) is fired from his paper production job he devises a method to assure his chance of regaining his position . . . by eliminating his competition.

Purr Blur: One of the men Man-su targets is named Bummo (Lee Sung-min), and we can hear a cat meowing outside his home in one scene. But we don’t actually get to see the ginger and white tabby until Man-su is surveilling Bummo through a pair of binoculars and momentarily focuses on the kitty on a hillside above the house.

Final Mewsings: Cats have also been known to try to eliminate their competition.
