Movies are not only attractive to colorful and gorgeous visions, sometimes the hearing is more attractive, more fascinating into the mood, 2003 movie "Sniper Phone Booth", 2018 movie "Sinner", 2021 drama series "Scary Call" and so on are classic examples.
The whole film only through a phone call to dominate the direction of the entire plot, the development of the story is often unpredictable, but also because of the unknown situation of the enemy dark and my light, we are like blind people, can only be completely hidden in the shadows of the villain to lead the nose, follow his voice instructions, step by step into the abyss of doom, south Korea's latest movie "Limit Call" is the same!

Limiting calls to a car, a phone call, an adult, and two children is enough to be a low-budget, fast-paced, and intense thriller.
But director Kim Chang-so is not willing to be ordinary, he started the aerial camera, interspersed with many bird's-eye views of Busan city, and also let the male protagonist drive quickly through the city center of Busan, taking a look at the humanistic customs of the entire metropolitan area, and the ending is like a bunch of grapes, bringing to the past Korean financial crisis, the bank sold black-hearted bond commodities in order to make money, so that the depth of the story completely rose to different grades!

I gave 99.99 points for the first two-thirds of the plot of the "Limit Calls" movie, and the director completely captured the audience's curiosity through a strange call, is the bomb real or fake? Who is on the other end of the phone? Is it a simple random crime or a planned crime?
All kinds of unknown suspense are thrown out in an instant, coupled with the huge anxiety and uneasiness of the male protagonist when he is forced into a desperate situation, he must face the dilemma of "there is a bomb before, there are children after", so that people have a strong emotional projection when watching the movie, and they are tense together!

Lee Jae-jin, who plays her daughter in "Limit Calls", her acting skills in the movie are very amazing, the whole film is about less than 20 lines, but you can feel her rich and full emotional transformation.
From the indifference to sitting in the car at the beginning, with a bit of pride and indifference in the rebellious period of youth, to learning that the bomb was placed on the car, putting away his own extreme personal opinions, pouring all his trust into his father, calmly and not noisily waiting for all changes and possible opportunities, but also taking care of his brother when his brother's leg was injured, and even insightfully discovering the plans of the police, so that his father would not be a member of the ghost under the sniper rifle.

"Limit Calls" is also a fascinating commercial thriller movie, with excellent entertainment, the atmosphere is superb, the actors' acting skills are above the level, and the rhythm mastery of the first part of the film is also very appropriate.
However, the end is hard to add a Korean-style tear-jerking bridge section, into a lot of story lines with different tones from the main line, somewhat appear to be a bit of a snake, although you can understand the meaning that the director wants to convey, but the irony is not fierce, the pungency is not enough, this is the part of the film that is not lacking, a bit of a pity!
