The Shackle (2000)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Yu-chol is an unknown writer. People don’t like his works because they are not public-oriented. His parents died in an airplane crash. Despite his lack of success as a writer, he is financially secure from money obtained from an insurance company. However, he is lonely. He secretly lusts after the woman next door, who has a husband and children. Misunderstanding the woman’s kindness towards him as mutual love, the psychotic man decides to “rescue” her from her husband.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
