Like I said, it takes a lot with any movie I see anymore to surprise me (and I mean in a good way.) The commercials and trailers I saw for this didn’t give anything away and frankly, as I watched it, I didn’t see any signs or signals to where they may be going.

I’d never seen any of director Bong Joon Ho’s Korean films before though I had seen his American film, “Snowpiercer” (2013), which I drew a comic review for it when I saw it in 2014.  I’m glad I didn’t let my reaction to that movie sway me from seeing this.

Unless I see a movie in December that blows me away, this is easily the best movie I saw in 2019.
