Default Attack the Gas Station

I just recently watched this movie and it completely blew my mind, I am glad that I seen this film and I was wondering how many other people have seen this film, it is a Korean movie, but it does have English dub for those who don't want to read subtitles.

It was a rather intriguing film about four friends who rob a gas station and then return a week later to rob it again, except this time it leads to a series of reactions that keep adding up until the climax at the end of the film.

So dicuss your thoughts and feelings about the movie, the good, the bad, and ridiculous.

Attack the Gas Station is a great film. It has the trademarks of the emerging Korean cinema of the late 90's / early 00's, with quick genre changes midway through the movie. It also serves as an excellent social commentary of the state of Korea at the time the film was made, with heavy references to families and social duties.

It's one of my favorite Korean films, and a great example of the subject matter and style of films that were produced by the Koreans once films became privately funded.

I was wondering about the flashbacks each of the four teens had in the film, I felt that "Painter" and No Mark had actually reasons for being angry, but not "rockstar" and Mad Dog, I mean not as severe as it was for the other two. Sadly I do not know much of what was going on in Korea at that time, but from the film it says like it was promising great changes that weren't delivered due to the smashing of the Korean slogans, "A better era together" or whatever it was.

Did you feel that it was going to end the way it did? I was actually suprised by the ending?

You're best bet would be Blockbuster for a rental or amazon for purchase, it was released statesides because it has an english dub.
