Fun movie to watch filled with charismatic leads and great cinematography, but the film relies a little too heavily on dubious plot devices for my taste.

An internet and teenaged phenomenon, but I'd never let hype keep me from admitting that this is a pretty great movie, and a perfect middle film in a trilogy that got even better.

Chan Wook-Park is one of the best filmmakers currently working in the industry, this movie further shows that. It has a similar style to David Fincher, but still quite different. Highly recommended, especially fans of David Fincher and anyone who likes movies with dark humor. Choi Min-Sik further shows that he is one of the top actors out of Korea.

Fantastic acting, fantastic story, fantastic 'beating-people-with-hammers-in-a-hallway' scene. Overall, I think the best movie to be released in, oh, the past ten years.

Just the sort of well-executed revenge story that Quentin Tarantino only wishes he could come up with. Twist after twist will keep you intrigued right up until the unsettling ending.
