deepkino - 6/10

This is a film I watched during the coronavirus pandemic, and it interested me because it showed the importance of masks and social distancing as early as 2013. I also checked it out because Don Lee is in it, but in my opinion, it's best not to watch it with very high expectations. It might be good for those who like dystopian films.
