fabricated city
In 'Fabricated City,' it's not clear where the game ends and the movie begins
True to its English-language title, the South Korean action film "Fabricated City" is an amped-up video game vision of a revenge fantasy that's so preoccupied with switching gears that it neglects to provide viewers with any place to park their battered attention spans. Unemployed and unmotivated, Kwon Yu (Ji Chang-wook) is a hardcore gamer referred to as "Captain" by his teammates (heard but not seen), who are collectively known as Resurrection. But Kwon-yu lands in non-virtual hot water after returning a cellphone left in an Internet cafe to its female owner. He subsequently finds himself framed for her rape and murder and tossed into a maximum security prison where his tae kwon do background serves him well. It isn't long before he busts out, and, with some real-world assistance from Resurrection, proceeds to track down the identity of the actual killer.
