[HanCinema's Film Review] "Pilot"
By William Schwartz | Published on
Jeong-woo (played by Cho Jung-seok) is the surprisingly unsympathetic lead character of "Pilot" who we're initially introduced to wearing drag and running away from an angry mob. No context could really make this seem sympathetic, and it's to the credit of "Pilot" that the movie never even really tries. Jeong-woo is a celebrity pilot who is undone by a viral video where he tries to defuse paternalistic sexism with supplicant sexism, which isn't really much of an improvement.
