The Scam" is Korea's first stock market movie and managed to do a good job at the, too. The problem with such movies is of course that they are aiming at a certain circle of audience. Those who aren't familiar with all the terms and terminology of the stock market language surely will be a little bit lost on several occasions. Fortunately, "The Scam" is also just a simple heist-film, which means that in a broader sense it is about a heist and the team that plans it. Since this heist is taking place at the stock market the director naturally has the chance to make his film play in a completely different environment, including men in suits, expensive cars, luxeriously furnished mansions and stock brokers that move around millions with a few mouse clicks. The polished look of the movie can be quite appealing, nonetheless, this doesn't change the fact that the tension falls a bit by the wayside. Naturally, that's a problem that goes hand in hand with the subject because what is actually thrilling about watching some digits go up and down? Even if the behavior of those numbers is linked to the whole existence of some individuals.
