What happens when you... unleash the devil....

Butterfly effect.... not a new concept in kdramaland, and actually a quite revisited one. The call was an overall amazing experience and, long story short, you have 2 hours of free time and you look to watch a thrilling story that will keep you at the edge of your seat? Yes, click that play button and thank godflix that movies like this are still being produced.

But what was exactly the thing that made The call so memorable? The storytelling.

No, It's not the story itself. Yes, we know, somehow 2 people in different timelines communicate and they change things in their timeline that has a ping-pong reaction in both times. It's cool just to think of it, but it's not original. What call had was original storytelling.

The story starts a little cliche, two characters, two different timelines, both are likeable, both seem to be troubled, both could be the hero in their situation, you can't help but empathize. It all goes down midway, when the movie hits hard and it shows its biggest message. "Everything happens for a reason". You cannot play god even when you have that option you will regret it!

The movie as a movie was smart, it was fast-paced, it had cool effects, a killer story and mainly... development! Thrilling starting 20 minutes in, till the very end, and honestly what bumped this up to 9,5 from 9 was the ending... cause even when the movie was quite convenient, and a little bit too.... hollywood for my taste, it knows what it wants to be, and more importantly, it knows what the butterfly effect is and can do. Endless possibilities, multiple points of view. And yes in the very end The call had exactly that. Did not reduce itself in just another butterfly effect suspense little forgettable movie, it thought out of the box and for that i can easily deem it memorable.

Was it perfect? No. It did have its issues if we delve deeply into the whole thing and start analyzing every shit that happens, but who does that in a thriller/suspense movie (especially when we take talking with someone from 20 years ago for granted). The movie had it all, good story, great development, shocking twists, amazing cgi, and in the very end.... flawless acting!

Imma say it, never expected to, Park shin Hye is a good actress. There, i said it. If you ever accuse me of saying it i will deny it though. Jeon Jong Seo was so good, she might have been a little too much inside the role. Astonishing! And generally the whole cast which is known gave an A+ performance.

All in all, highly recommended!
