Yesterday (2002)

Synopsis: A detective whose son had been kidnapped some time ago and a criminal psychologist whose father has also been kidnapped investigate the possible link between these crimes and a series of murders of scientists; they uncover a strange revenge plot having to do with medical experiments conducted thirty years previously.
Appraisal: I found it impossible to understand the details of this plot. Most of the lines are spoken in Korean, and the subtitles that were shown in Brazilian channel Telecine were apparently full of errors (if not, this film is insane -- what the fuck has Nijinsky to do with all this? And a guy who has 'soap dish addiction'??). Even without the errors, I am honest to say that I would still have problems understanding parts of it. Hell, even the action scenes were hard to figure out at times. Well, never mind. The fact is: it is technically very accomplished, but I found it exceedingly dull.
Rating: 21
