Korean modern movie about youths disconnected from society and its a comedy. 4 youths are bored so they tear up a gas station. They get bored so they tear it up again and rob it. Not any money so they decide to work through the night pumping gas and just take the money they make. All kinds of wierdness happens and it ends with a big streetfight with a group of pissed off chinese food delivery guys on scooters, thugs and the youths of the gas station. Along the way, there is the expected self discovery and all that. Pretty funny at times and an interesting idea for a movie.

Yeah, I loved this movie. The great thing about a lot of movies coming out of Korea is how original they are. My Sassy Girl is one of my all time favorite movies--even though technically it's a chick flick. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Old Boy are twisted but great..
Some real good stuff.

I really enjoyed Attack the Gas Station, but not quite as much as I expected to after all I'd heard.
That's one strange ass name for a movie....

Sham I agree that its not great, but it is cool and fun. Alot of these films will never fit my definition of "great" but they are different and fun.

I'm glad I read all the hype after I saw it so when I watched it expectations were low so to me it kicked ass..
But if I had read all the hype and then watched it I'd thought it would be a let down..
Low expectations can be a good thing!!!!

Low expectations can be a good thing!!!!That's always been my philosophy: Lower your expectations and you'll never be disapointed. Also: Hard work pays off eventually, but laziness pays off right now!
