Big Deal

About This Movie

Big Deal is set against the backdrop of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, which really adds a palpable tension to the story. You’ve got Gukbo, this Soju giant, teetering on the edge, and In-beom, the ambitious young associate from Solquin, who’s got his eyes set on it. The film captures that cutthroat world of M&A, exploring greed and ambition through In-beom's lens. It’s not just about the deals, though; there’s this underlying theme of personal conflict and moral ambiguity that makes you think. The pacing feels deliberate, giving the audience time to absorb the stakes, while the performances, especially by the lead, are nuanced. It’s a film that sits in that sweet spot of being both a character study and a commentary on a volatile period in history.
