MOVIES I SAW THIS WEEK-

1) DECISION TO LEAVE- 2022. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “From a mountain peak in South Korea, a man plummets to his death. Did he jump, or was he pushed? When detective Hae-joon arrives on the scene, he begins to suspect the dead man’s wife Seo-rae. But as he digs deeper into the investigation, he finds himself trapped in a web of deception and desire.”

10/20/22- Excellent reviews for this Korean drama. One critic however, did say that he enjoyed the movie even though several parts were confusing and I agree. TRDB. Prime Video
