Just the first 15 minutes and last 20 minutes give the tension goods. The rest of The Chaser mainly trades in genre cliches in its Dirty Harry-style detective and incompetent police, as well as over-pronounced scenes of drama (IE. a syrupy musical score, with slow-motion.) Moreover, the last shot symbolizing the character as a father figure is the definition of the predictable way that its story feels stagy.
