Wild Animals

About This Movie

So, 'Wild Animals' from '97—it's a quirky blend of comedy, crime, and drama, but not in the usual way you'd expect. The narrative follows two Korean ex-pats in Paris who get tangled up with a French mobster, which sets the stage for some darkly comedic moments. The chemistry between the leads feels raw and adds to the chaotic atmosphere. You really get a sense of the struggle between loyalty and betrayal, and the pacing keeps you on your toes. It's not all flashy effects; the practical elements of their misadventures ground it in a sort of gritty realism. There's this oddball charm to it that makes it stand out, even if the direction is a bit under the radar. Definitely a unique watch for those who appreciate offbeat crime comedies.
