This film could be possible if John Updike modeled two classes of Rome in the 21st century, or if Robert Altman remade Short Cuts in Italy. Of course, to reflect individuality, a few drops of blood should be added. A gunman celebrating his wife’ birthdays, a hospital cleaner, a doctor who almost caused a car accident, a director who stopped making movies, a man fascinated by incense, and a woman cheating on her husband. All the major players are dragged out by the long threads of their lives. The Predators is full of acrimonious and mischievous jokes. (LEE Yong Cheol)
