There is some serious evil going on in this movie. Wow...
Not horror. A frenetically edited and determinedly unpleasant roller coaster into despair, breathlessly ping-ponging between wild dark humor and bleak human misery. Nothing else like it for sure. For fans of the real dark stuff only.
Good movie. Could have been great if it didn't try too hard to be cool. One of the most evil characters ever. I need to reed the book.
One of the greatest asian thrillers since old boy
