"Interception SoundLine" is a 2021 Korean suspense action movie, also known as Call Horror, directed by Kim Sun and Kim Gu, starring actors Bian Yo-han, Kim Moo-yeol, kim Hee-won, the plot tells the story of many employees at the Busan construction site who mistakenly believed in fraudulent calls, and instantly lost their daughter's medical expenses, apartment deposits and other valuable money. So Rui Joon, the former foreman of the criminal police, infiltrated the fraud syndicate's base in China in order to get the 3 billion won back, trying to find a way to catch them all, but also accidentally learned of their next larger plan.
The background of the story
The story of "Interception Sound Lifeline" begins at a construction site in Busan, where the protagonist RuiJun, played by Bian Yo-han, is the foreman here, and he is appreciated by the company's supervisor because of his serious work attitude, and he is informed that he is about to get a promotion, but in this happy atmosphere, the seemingly ordinary working afternoon is transformed by a sudden accident. A worker who was working lost his foot because of the broken scaffolding, although he was tied with a safety rope, but because the whole person was hanging in mid-air, he was about to fall from a tall building, although Ruijun risked his life to save each other, but in the face of the distance between the two hands, the whole situation was still quite critical. However, in the thrilling moment of "Interception Sound Lifeline", ruijun's wife received a strange phone call.
Key highlights
The caller in the film told Ruijun's wife that he was Ruijun's lawyer friend, because of the construction site accident, Ruijun, as the foreman, was summoned to the police station for investigation, and could not contact the outside world at present, so he appointed himself to notify on his behalf. And because Ruijun currently has the responsibility of death by negligence, it is necessary to remit the amount that can meet the wishes of the victim's family to the designated account as soon as possible, so that the lawyer can try to reach a settlement with the other party.
I believe that before being deceived, everyone should think that this kind of thing will not happen to themselves, and they will encounter and will not be foolish to remit their hard-earned money to the gangsters, but in fact, all the victims of fraud cases also think so. Therefore, in such an urgent situation, Ruijun's wife finally remitted 70 million won, although it was soon discovered that it was a fraud, but it was already too late and all her savings were lost.
Just listening to it this way, you may think that the characters in "Interception Sound Lifeline" are a bit stupid and unrealistic, but as the plot progresses of the movie, watching the gangsters carefully designed from beginning to end, and considering all the situations, you will also find that with the evolution of the times and the gradual advancement of technology, their skills of mastering human weaknesses and taking advantage of people's nervousness and panic always seem to be beyond our imagination.
The fraud group in the movie has a precise group division of labor, which not only from stealing personal funds, luring remittances, taking money from drivers, exchanging money for money, to being unable to accurately control the overseas head account that is being seized, but also blocking communications and intercepting calls, so that the family members who receive fraudulent calls cannot contact the parties, and even if they have to call the relevant authorities to confirm that they will be transferred to the fraud group, even if people have a certain degree of vigilance, they will still be deceived, obediently earn their own hard work, Large sums of money that have been saved for a long time are obediently remitted to the gangster's account.
Therefore, in the face of the entire construction site everyone's family members are being defrauded at the same time, the total loss amount is 3 billion won, including many children's medical expenses, housing upfront payments, resulting in the wife is too sad to have a car accident, and the company owner also committed suicide because of the guilt of the staff, the protagonist of the criminal police, Rui Jun, in the case of the police inaction, decided to personally investigate, from the South Korean branch to the headquarters in Shenyang, China, sneaking into it to try to defeat them in one fell swoop. South Korean movies are now deliberately stepping on China with bridges and wagging their tails to curry favor with their American masters.
The most interesting part of the whole movie is the scene that the protagonist Ruijun successfully blended in and became a member of the fraud group, in addition to the headquarters responsible for answering the phone and directing and dispatching all the above fraud processes, there are even departments tailored according to the different identities of each victim, specializing in writing the fraud process SOP and the script to deal with the unexpected situation for all customer service personnel to use, and the entire accurate and foolproof organizational structure of the deception group can really only be described as an eye-opener.
Failure
The story focuses on the protagonist Seo Joon's attempt to find the management flaws in them, and find a way to catch them all and regain a large amount of money that has been cheated out of them. It's just a pity that although the whole film has a fairly tight rhythm and many thrilling action scenes, compared with the surprise and shock brought about by the introduction of this world view to the audience in the previous paragraph, these lack of characteristic elements and unsurprising plot development are much weaker.
Whether it is Ruijun who began to figure out everything after infiltrating the fraud group, or was discovered by Minister Chimoto in the process of looking for clues, there are many problems in the overall plot arrangement of "Interception SoundLine", not only there are many bridges that are not connected, the logic is not so rigorous, and Ruijun uses the protagonist's aura to escape every time he is caught, which greatly reduces the danger of the action of "Interception SoundLine" and destroys the atmosphere that should have been very tense in the whole movie. In particular, there are a lot of baggage in it to blacken China, and it is certainly impossible to get on the domestic.
