The Girl on a Bulldozer

불도저에 탄 소녀

The other girl with the dragon tattoo is Korean, and her name is Kim Hye-yoon, and she delivers a breathtaking, star-making turn as the eponymous girl, who takes no guff from anyone. When her dad falls into a coma and slick manipulators attempt to take over the family restaurant, she has to grow up fast. In her tenacious search for answers—interrupted by a prison stay and mandated training on heavy equipment—she must face off against an ever-expanding horde of corrupt forces. A terrifically entertaining coming-of-age thriller, the film unleashes a barrage of societal critiques, but never loses sight of its rebellious heroine and her dogged crusade for truth and justice.
