Alles, was es braucht, ist ein Haufen Geld, der in einem Schliessfach gefunden wird, damit alle zu unmenschlichen, gierigen Bestien werden – bereit zu jedem Verrat. Beasts Clawing at Straws ist aufgebaut wie ein Roman noir, mit einem spiralförmigen Erzählstrang, einer manipulativen Off-Stimme und unvermittelten Gewaltexzessen. Der Debütfilm kann zweifellos mit Klassikern seines Genres wie The Grifters (Stephen Frears, 1990) mithalten. (Fribourg International Film Festival)

A stunning directorial debut packed with a star-studded cast, with a great story and plenty of tension and violence. One suitcase full of money intertwines three different storylines that gradually start to fit together nicely and also leave dead bodies in their wake. Very well thought out with tense situations, uncompromising twists, violence that is not outright explicit but very naturalistic, and above all it's very entertaining with gorgeous neo-noir visuals. Koreans and Spaniards are ruling cinemas this year without a doubt! (not that it was ever otherwise, hehe). Story****, Action***, Humor>No, Violence***, Entertainment****, Music***, Visual****, Atmosphere****, Suspense****. Recommended! 8/10.

I'm having some kind of a golden touch with Korean movies right now. I certainly don't consider it the norm for a story to be this well written, well thought out, and – most importantly – unpredictable. The actors are also very well cast, and the lead Woo-seong Jeong is convincing in his role and more himself than he’s been in a long time. There was just the right amount of violence, or at least it didn't go over the top as Koreans are sometimes wont to do. I enjoyed untangling the tangled ball around the bag and the ending was very, very satisfying.
