Went to see this last night, a Korean thriller. Fantastic film, lots of violance, some disturbing restraunt habits and great performances, the yank version is in prodution and no doubt will have to be softend down,so catch this instead and increase your cool factor.

Cool

JR did a review on 2004 and gave it a very good review, yet in one of the weekend paper it gave it a bad one.

Saturdays Times (the only one I read) gave it a good report so I'm up for watching it.

Saw this at the weekend.

Flippin' awesome in every regard. Thought it was going to be a Korean rip-off of Scorcese/tarantino/coppolla, but no. Just two hours of violent, masochistic madness, woven together in an excellent (if a little far-fetched) story with some great twists!

Hard to understand in some places - one to watch slowly on DVD if you really want to understand what's going on, but you should definitely see this film.

Very highly recommended.
