Reviews for Nowhere to Hide
Myung-se usa o seu fiapo de roteiro para nos lembrar da velha máxima de que Cinema é, de fato, Imagem; e o resultado é um filme que contrasta os personagens falhos e incompetentes a um incrível virtuosismo visual e à trilha surpreendente.

The shots may look cool, but their artiness prevents the film from building momentum.

The bottom line is that Lee's innovative but ultimately tedious and even ludicrous MTV-style visuals add absolutely nothing to the story dynamics.

Too often the film and its visuals feel [like] disconnected, self-indulgent set pieces.

There's an exuberant, (post)modernity about the visuals -- the camera is never still and Lee's choice of angle is often inspired.

A skinny little mediocrity of a film, all dressed up with no place to go, except towards more violence.

Of course, there's no real story here, unless you want to hear the one about the self-obsessed filmmaker who thought this project would be cool.

It is an over-stylized film that lacks, oddly enough, a sense of style.

Park is the reason the new Korean film Nowhere to Hide works so well.

This is flash in the service of nothing, the proverbial sow's ear doing an indifferent imitation of a silk purse.

Top Critic Don't look for a complex plot -- it's nowhere to be found in Nowhere to Hide. But with this much visual style, who needs it?

The film often churns with the pleasure that visual stimulation can provide and more affection for the bang-bang techniques than you're likely to see in the movies of music-video directors simply making the jump to the big screen.

Top Critic Reveals that in Lee Myung-Se Korea has a filmmaker with enough razzle-dazzle and visceral appeal to rival Hong Kong's -- and Hollywood's -- John Woo.

Top Critic Lee can't tell a story to save his life, but he's something of a visual magician, laying out glittering piles of goodies that you instinctively want to follow.
