Jail Breakers
Wanting to be included in the Independence Day Special Pardons list, Jae-Pil (Sul, Kyoung-Gu) diligently leads an exemplary prison life. Just when he's set to get out and marry the love of his life, Kyoung-soon comes for a visit and drops the bomb that she will be getting married to someone else!
Determined to change the cheating girlfriend's heart and mind, our model inmate decides to escape from prison.
After stealing some bread and not being able to give ID, Mu-suk is sent straight to jail on unjust charges. Feeling that he is unfairly stuck, he makes numerous but hopeless escape attempts only to remain unsuccessful. One afternoon, he lands on a spoon and begins making an escape route for the next six years. On the day that he finally completes digging his escape hole, Jae-Pil appears out of nowhere and joins in the escape!
The two prisoners make their escapes and bid never ever to return to their cells!! Reading their first early morning paper from the outside, they discover their names under the Independence Day Special Pardoned Releases list??.
They could have easily walked out of the prison gates being under the Special Pardons list. But, they went past the gates a little too soon! Will Jae-Pil and Mu-suk ever succeed in going through the even tougher barriers that keep them from getting back in?
Jungle Juice
Ki-tae (Jang Hyeok) and Chol-su (Lee Beom-Su) are two goofy happy-go-lucky guys _ think of a grittier non-suburban version of Beavis and Butthead _ who unintentionally find themselves at the lowest rung of the local mafia ladder. They get involved in a cocaine deal which of course falls apart, and have to come up with 20 million won to pay back the boss. For the rest of the movie, the two, along with a prostitute named Meg Ryan (Jun Hye-jin) and a cast of misfits and thugs, run around Seoul and Pusan while beating the life out of each other and getting into all sorts of misadventures.
When watching ``Jungle Juice" one becomes progressively aware of this strange yet slightly serene uniformity to everything to the film. The funny parts begin to seem all equally funny and the action parts all equally, well, action-packed. And except for the differences in regional dialects, everyone speaks in the same tough expletive-filled way. Even the many action scenes in the film and there are a lot are connected by a vaguely familiar funk music playing in the background.
If everything had been treated with a little more variety, the movie would have been able to maintain the lightness and humor that it showed in the beginning. As such, ``Jungle Juice" is a movie that is entertaining in spurts, but as a complete movie, just doesn't hold up.
