Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
GUENOT PHILIPPE Actually, there are two kinds of Korean cinema: the true Korean, genuine Korean scheme, and the Hollywood like one: the kind i hate with super heroes, action packed movies and of course f...happy endings. Useless to say that this feature belongs to the first category. Gripping, poignant, brutal, it could never be an American feature. But it is sometimes too long, a bit ankward, and the final ending disappointed me a little.
champetudo Really long and very frustrating... No vengeance at all.. Just scene after scene of how the bad guys win... I suppose maybe it was that way on the real world...
lovegang Not so suspenseful after the first assassination attempt. This hopeful action film evolved to a drama focused movie, with many cheesy dialogue. There was this sense of fair from the production crew, like they're afraid of stepping over political lines. It made the movie unorganized and consist of uncorrelated scenes; And prolonging the final attempt to kill Chun Doo Hwan. I felt unsympathetic for the characters in the movie, and unjust as an audience at the end when they don't show the final kill. They leave it as a cliffhanger, as in the korean film culture values it.
fluffset This movie is so awesome! Should get more worldwide attention but its not because this is surely not Kim ki duk's art house. About a victim's family who want to take revenge after what happened to their family 26 years ago in Gwangju's massacre, very well constructed and so unpredictable, its a true story I guess because at their ending credit they listed a lot of name,of victim of the gwangju's massacre.Got sufficient tension, great acting, some saddy moment that make me cry and honestly I rarely cry watching movie although they say their genre are drama. If you love good thrilling movie just like the chaser, yellow sea, memories of murder, i saw the devil, and many more excellent korean thriller you will absolutely love this! If not I will punch myself in the face just like edward norton in fight club!
