If you have seen as many films as I have in my life you may feel compelled to stop watching this movie, because, who cares about Another kidnapper, another obsessed and tormented mother ("Azooma") piecing the case together? and a hunted detective?. Seriously? How many times we have seen this and the (sometimes) over-melodramatic Korean style? Well,I am glad I pushed myself to see how this story would end! The clever and twisting last half of it, made me regret those times when I paused it to fix coffee,I am so glad I did not walk away when I felt a little bored with the "familiar" plot. The last thirty minutes will stick on your memory as one of those endings that must be watched again to savor a good writing,so rare and hard to find. Acting is good enough, in any case this is a must-watch, and I will recommend it to anyone who ask: Have you seen a good movie lately? So my rating 7.5 out of 10 for having such a clever ending!
7.4Plot summary
Fifteen years have passed since the girl was abducted, and suddenly a lonely flower is found at the crime scene. It was perceived as a sign indicating the possible return of a criminal who was not then found. The expiration date of the crime expires on these few days, and two days later a new abduction of the little girl takes place.

My rating 7.5 out of 10 for having such a clever ending!
Wouldn't have guessed the twist
This is a complex thriller about a 15 year old kidnaping and a new kidnaping. The outcome is quite surprising so much that I wouldn't have guessed it at all. The story is complex with some flashbacks. The explanation is good and complete and actually plausible if slightly far fetched. The acting is good and borders at overwrought at times. Worth watching.
Another great Korean movie.
You got to give it to the Koreans, well the South-Koreans that is, as they yet again made a most enjoyable movie to watch. They did it again and I'm not really surprised as over the years the Korean movie industry is one of my favorites. This time it's writer/director Geun-seop Jeong, another name I will try to follow, as I'm curious if his next movies will be of the same quality as Mong-ta-joo (or Montage for the English title). Montage is well written, full of suspense, good twists, and an almost incredible ending that nobody will see coming. The cast also contributed to make this movie stand out from the rest. Korean actors are unlike their neighboring Asian countries never overacting, which is a big problem in those other countries. I never remember their names though, and I'm sorry for that, but I certainly recognize familiar faces from the Korean movie industry. Mont-ta-joo is another great Korean movie, the list is getting long.
