Just watched this movie and boy...does it have an after-taste!
Very twisted. The aftertaste is more like Se7ens' then anything else. Fight Club had a twisted yet cool ending, but this one sickens you to the bone. Bloody Brilliant!
Superb performance by Choi Min-Sik, brilliant actor. And all the other actors did a great job too but Choi was super.
Directing was at an Oscar-caliber rate, there were no mistakes in the plot or any other part of the movie. And everything flows perfectly and doesn't it let you move from the screen.
There is also a fight scene in the movie that would be considered one of the most grittiest fights ever. It's the corridor fight scene for those who are interested. But don't let that make you think that this is an action movie cause there's only a couple of fight scenes in the whole movie. Think of the fight scene as a bonus feature to an outstanding movie.
**Fans of The Game, Fight Club & Se7en will enjoy this movie.** |
