Film Review: The Phone (2015) by Kim Bong-joo

Film Review: The Phone (2015) by Kim Bong-joo
As far as high concept thrillers go, Kim Bong-joo’s debut effort “The Phone” probably falls somewhere in the middle. An undeniable commercial success, it is consistently intriguing, and seamlessly navigates the reefs of the fantasy genre film without stumbling into tropes, even if it does rely on one almost blindly suspending one’s disbelief throughout.

At the heart of the movie is Ko Dong-ho (Son Hyun-joo), an ex-lawyer who has decided to tackle a higher-paid position at a pharmaceutical firm. Mildly unreliable in the opening act, he chooses social drinking over his family to celebrate his newfound success, ignoring a phone-call from his wife Jo Yeon-soo (Uhm Ji-won), who has gotten into a car crash. As it turns out, these choices prove to be fatal, as Dong-ho’s apathetic response to his wife’s plea ultimately leaves her vulnerable, whereby she is murdered in a mismanaged robbery.
