The trouble with Park Chan-wook's movies like Old Boy and Stoker is their gleefully twisted plots tend to be detached, joyless affairs populated with cold, heartless characters, but not so this sumptuous thriller inspired by Sarah Water's "The Fingersmith" about cold, heartless swindlers enacting a cold, heartless plot - the fear halfway through is this thriller will also remain a detached robotic affair but the twist in the end is that there is heart, just not where you expect to find it.
