This is the movie that Ethan and Joel would have made if they'd have grown up in South Korea rather than Minnesota. Unlike their master piece "Blood Simple" where no character in the movie knows what's going on and the audience knows everything, the characters in True Fiction all have a pretty good idea of what's happening but the viewer keeps getting surprised.
The plot is convoluted but believable and the cinematography is excellent. Hopefully the director will get another property to work with soon.

Well acted out and with a good screenplay.
TRUE FICTION started out slow with lingering around with comedy and kept me intrigued at where it was gonna go and where it was gonna end up.
But the movie does pick up it's pace and once it does it becomes entertaining and keeps you glued.
The movie turns into a thriller once it reaches the midpoint and bombards us with back to back twists and with a final and ANOTHER sweet cherry on the top TWIST again.
I loved everyone's acting in this.
No character is actually likeable here and I don't think that every movie needs to have a good ENDING or LIKEABLE characters....so characters are unlikeable but Ji Hyun Woo steals the show here in this movie.
Definitely an above average entertainer for me.

Great, for the director rarely had films like this
Mstr_bateman statement down there derives from a 0 cell person who says characters werent interesting and story didnt fit, the evil protagonist did great tho... Coming with such an Imagination corresponding to Death Note manga is really tough on one's awareness to come up with such a notion! Please ignore his incoherent answer, he has a lot to learn and watch continue to watch fantasy of past dragons!!
