When Tae-suk (Jae Hee) returns to these areas at night, he breaks into the houses where flyers remain, assuming the owners away. He sleeps in their beds, eats food from their refrigerators and takes photos of himself posing next to family portraits, in exchange he does laundry or fixes broken clocks. His subsistence takes an unexpected turn when he's caught sneaking around a wealthy home by the docile, abused young wife (Lee Seung-yeon) of a temperamental businessman, and within hour feels compelled to save the girl (by wielding the titular golf club) when her husband returns home in a rage...

Written and directed by Kim Ki-Duk (of this year's controversial "Bad Guy," and 2004's highly praised "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring"), "3-Iron" touches upon themes of loneliness, helplessness, aimlessness, coincidence, self-worth and hope as it grows more odd and absorbing with twists of fate and character developments that lead in unexpected directions. Remarkably, Kim brings this story to life with almost no dialogue. Jae and Lee give captivating performances without uttering a word until two laconic lines of dialogue in the closing minutes. It's a choice that leaves you hanging on their every glance and gesture, and it makes the imaginative "3-Iron" all the more memorable.
