Taking a break in a public restroom at the train station, he loses his precious lighter.

Bong Gu is now ready to do more than everything to get back his belonging and that includes facing this gangster and his mean bodyguards. -- KFC Cinema

Hmm? I really liked the movie at first. I mean come on...it was funny because Bong-gu was bound and determined to get that damn lighter. LOL! The more he was set back, the more outraged he became to get that thing.

Then poor, poor Cheol-gon.....harrassed by Bong-gu for that damn red lighter. LOL! I don't know why he just didn't give it to him. I think it was out of pride that made him keep it. If he had given it back, I think all of his problems would have been solved or his actions would have been easier. I will say I was sad when he called his wife and pretty much told her he was a dead man and that he missed his son's birthday. That made the movie seem less comedic but real emotionally.

Then there was that guy, don't remember his name, that talked non-stop! OMG! He reminds me of so many people. The kind of person you just want to say "Shut the f*ck up!" to. Ya know?

I wasn't happy with the ending. I think they didn't really know where to go with it so they just let the loose threads of the movie just dangle. Ah well. It was pretty good. Lots of fun with it that is for sure. Moments that you'll laugh out loud because you can't believe "he" would do that. LOL!

Four guys with nothing better to do decide to rob a gas station. When they find out there isn't as much money as they expected, they lock up the employees and take over to make more money. They don't know how to run the gas pumps, and when the customers complain, the guys take them hostage. Everything is more or less under a chaotic kind of control, until they order Chinese food and make the mistake of harassing the delivery boy. He rounds up a bunch of other delivery boys to attack the gas station. Another confrontation with a high school gang and the local mafia provokes a bigger fight. Finally the police arrive for the final showdown.

This was a pretty good movie. It wasn't all that but it was crazy! LOL! The only reason I really watched this was of one particular man....Lee Jong Hyuk!!! His role was very minor, fleeting. He sang and danced and was just as cute as ever. *sigh*

Other than that, this movie was just a fun comedy of mischief. Keep you occupied on a boring day. Might make you laugh or groan. I guess it depends on your taste in action/comedy.
