What is the name of this movie?
Posted on January 25th, 2010 by admin
I remember watching it a couple of years ago, it was on Starz (if that helps) and it was a foreign film (Asian if that helps too.)
I recall it being about a drifter who would break into peoples homes while they were away and live in it, while doing this he would fix up any appliance of theirs that was broken.
The story goes that he happens upon a woman one night that was being beaten by her husband (not terribly but she was slapped around.) Any who he proceeds to save her from the husband by pulling out a golf club and some golf balls he carried around and hitting them in his direction.
He succeeds in knocking him out and she goes with him, thus begins the movie.
They start living together in other peoples homes and on nights when they didn’t have a place to stay, they would spend the night in the streets.
Which brings me to a scene that stuck with me. Because they lived in the city, he could not practice his golf swings for fear of property damage.
So what he does is pull out a golf ball attached to a leather string and ties it to a tree so that it could not go far. She warns him that he might hit it too hard and fly off.
It does just that.
Unfortunately the ball is hit so hard that it breaks the window and hits the man on his way home from work, instantly killing him. Horrified by what has happened they run off from the scene before the police could get there.
I believe that the reason for running off was because that woman’s husband had put out a police report and if they were to find her, they would take her back.

I hope this strikes a chord somewhere within because I have been trying to find the name of this film for quite awhile but have failed in doing so.
Everytime I try to search with and plot lines on google I always get hits with adult movies and the sort… Not what I want.
Please help me~

It’s Bin-jip (a.k.a 3-Iron)
A young drifter enters strangers’ houses – and lives – while owners are away. He spends a night or a day squatting in, repaying their unwitting hospitality by doing laundry or small repairs. His life changes when he runs into a beautiful woman in an affluent mansion who is ready to escape her unhappy, abusive marriage. Starring Jae Hee and Lee Seung-yeon.
