Repechage - anyone seen it?

Postby cal42 » Tue Dec 04, 2007 6:30 pm

I got this HK version of a Korean film free. Usually, free films suck, but this one looks OK and even has a nice slipcase.

Has anyone seen it? Is it worth watching or shall I stick it on ebay and hope to make a quick buck from it?

Overview/description doesn't sound too exciting:

It is worth every penny you paid for it. We watched it a few weeks ago. The precise made it sound a bit like "Addicted to Love" a Griffin Dunne movie with Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick which was not the worst movie we saw during the last decade.

But it is missing humor, pathos and plot. It is a romantic comedy with attractive people who I found it impossible to identify with on any level. I didn't watch it to the end--my wife did and wasn't very impressed.

Having seen it and given a choice I would list it on ebay.
