Omniscient Reader: The Prophet
dir. Kim Byung-woo (2025) [South Korean, subtitled]
Poorly received by fans of the original web novel, though quite passable when divorced from expectations. Visually, the film matches its more-expensive American counterparts. The acting is fine. Only the plot goes astray, squandering a decent beginning for action-heavy semi-closure without resolution.
