Ever want revenge? I'm talking serious torture, mind blowing, cat playing with a half dead mouse kind of revenge. This movie may just be your guide, like reading "Revenge for Dummies". First you have to be a real bad ass, and really smart. Next you have to loose someone you really love and let it completely consume you. Lastly, you have to be able to stomach some pretty gruesome stuff. Here we have another masterpiece staring the infamous Min-sik Choi (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance) who plays a sadistic, serial killer that picks the wrong victim. He kills the wife of a Secret Agent that sets out to track and torture the killer by becoming a monster himself. He brings catch and release to a whole new level and decides that a simple death is just to good for this psycho. There have been plenty of Korean revenge movies in the past, all with a touch of originality and this one sets the bar high yet again! Unfortunately for humanity, the agent does what most of us would want to do to the killer if we had the means and skills. I don't want to give away too much, but this movie adds the anticipated twists and complicated plot lines that I have come to love with these Korean horror movies. Prepare yourself for gore and action with this hidden Netflix gem! BTW, the next time you go on a murder spree, be careful when choosing your victim!
FYI: This is Choi's first film since his protest over the Korean Film Guild.
