The director dug for gold, but came up emptyhanded....
Right, well the synopsis for this adventure comedy sounded interesting enough. However, I would have opted to watch the 2020 South Korean movie regardless of its synopsis, as I enjoy Asian cinema. And as I stumbled upon director Park Jung-Bae's 2020 movie here in 2022, of course I opted to watch it.
Now, I hadn't even ever heard about "Collectors" prior to sitting down to watch it. So I only knew whatever little about the movie that I had gotten from the synopsis. And I did like the movie's cover.
However, I must admit that this movie was a swing and a miss. And not everything that makes it out of the South Korean cinema is gold. Director Park Jung-Bae's 2020 movie just failed to entertain me, and it was a struggle to sit through the ordeal known as "Collectors", especially since nothing exciting or interesting happened.
The movie did, however, have a good cast ensemble, but it was just a downright shame that the actors and actresses had virtually nothing to work with in terms of a worthwhile storyline or interesting characters.
I have to admit that I gave up on the movie about 1 hour into the ordeal, but by then I was just bored senseless with the storyline and its flaccid characters that were devoid of personalities. And this this definitely not a movie that I will be returning to at any time down the line to finish watching, simply because I had absolutely no interest in the plot or characters.
As much as I enjoy South Korean cinema, then "Collectors" is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. It is slow paced, rather pointless and just takes forever to get nowhere.
My rating of "Collectors" lands on a generous three out of ten stars, and that is based on the production value mostly.
