The Plot (2024)
Overview
Young-il is a plotter who manipulates murder-for-hire cases to look like accidents. Nobody knows those accidents are in fact perfectly plotted, planned murders. After finishing a flawlessly plotted case with no trace of evidence left behind, Young-il receives a new request. His new target is a prominent political figure who is always under the spotlight. Even with the higher risk of getting exposed, Young-il decides to take the case with his team members, Jackie, Wol-cheon, and Jeom-man. When the plot is ready after immaculate preparation and numerous rehearsals, the team finally makes its move, but some unexpected trouble threatens Young-il’s perfect plan.

A rather anaemic script see's The Plot deliver less than it could have.
My grievance with this film is its lack of cohesiveness and direction. It never really comes together, not does it take the viewer anywhere satisfying. Its okay to leave questions unanswered but you need to offer the viewer at least something, of substance.
The results a well acted, well produced film that for this viewer felt "hollow". Indeed, I came away wondering what I'd just spent my time on.
In summary, well acted and produced but the lack of a cohesive story with, at least, a general sense of direction, is less than satisfying.
