Damn good film. One of the best South Korean films I've ever seen (not that bold of a statement). Let's up the ante, one of the best revenge flicks I've ever seen. Period.

I went ahead and checked this film out because Nick would always recommend it. I wouldn't call myself a connoisseur of South Korean cinema, but I am willing to give things a go.

I dug this film. It isn't a horror film exactly, but more so a crime-thriller, revenge film. It's tough, mean-spirited, and has a cutthroat attitude behind it. Not for the faint of heart, but is definitely a film I would recommend for the average person frequenting NS.
