Shiri

Director: Kang Je-gyu
Year Released: 1999
Rating: 1.0

Tom Clancy with a Korean twist. A blockbuster in its native land, it received minimal attention here in the US, primarily because we have movies like this here, and they all star Harrison Ford. Two hours of tired politics and ultra-shaky camerawork don't work, and the picture's major plot twist requires you to stop thinking. Two neat tricks: the secret of the fish and whatever it is the one terrorist swallows to make her head explode.
