NEVER accept bank transactions on the phone! For sure, you”ll even more heed this familiar warning after seeing On the Line, thrilling ultra contemporary entertainment in the tradition of cyber thrillers, among which Michael Mann’s Hacker remains a model. Kim Gok and Kim Sun reveal the huge criminal organizations hiding behind scamming, real corporations operating like banks, where the most exposed remain the most necessitous - workers and students - diabolically contributing to the immutability of social injustice.
