Movie Details: "Exit" is a 2019 South Korean thriller film directed by Kim Sung-ho. The movie follows a story where a man, after being pronounced dead, comes back to life and seeks to unravel the truth behind his near-death experience.

• Convenient Writing: The plot relies heavily on coincidence. The gas behaves exactly how the script needs it to at any given moment, and the skills required to survive are conveniently possessed by the protagonists.
• One-Dimensional Villains: The source of the gas (terrorists) is vague and serves merely as a plot device rather than a fleshed-out threat. They lack the depth seen in other Korean thrillers.
