"Realism isn't the focal point of Bad Guy-misogynistic male power fantasies masquerading as dark, dreamlike treatises on fate and love are." - Nick Schager

Fails to hook me at any point, which takes away the potential effect of the endless sex and violence. Nice acting and quality directing though.

Most likely the worst ending that could have happened, so much as to almost invalidate the preceding ideas.

"Perhaps it's just me but I found it impossible to penetrate this one. It seems to be saying something about social classes and male-female relationships and roles, but the messages are mixed."

You can see the director is coming into form with this one, but I think you have to skip ahead a couple years for his best works.

I like how Nam-Gi -- silent voyeur subjecting a woman to brutal misogynist violence, that he is -- is obviously a stand-in for the director, but the application of Kim's trademark perverse romanticism to Bad Guy's ending, with his victim finally embracing her role, is in this instance kind of repulsive. It has the effect of appearing to rationalize the misogyny in his work.
