*bot_knives_only* saka bir yana ben filmi begenmedim cunku gkorenin tur sinemasinin felsefi yapisiyla alakasi yok ve karakterler cok havada kaliyor.ayrica sirf paraniz var diye araba parcalamaniza da gerek yoktu.film cok iyi basladi ama kontrolden cikti.

Complicated stuff, I lost the plot half way. Kept watching because of the action scenes.

Overall Enjoyment: 25/40, Plot/Themes: 10/20, Cinematography/Direction: 15/20, Acting/Writing: 10/20 Not quite as good as his previous work The Chaser. The yellow sea has a very complicated narrative that isn't very clear at times. It requires you to pay attention and remember many different names, which is difficult since it's in korean. The payoff is fantastic action sequences, and hands down some of the best chase sequences I've ever seen in a movie.

The first half is great.

Knives. Everywhere.

the chaser'dan sonra merakla bekledigim bir filmdi. sinematografisi basta gerceklik duygusunu yansitabilirken, zayif dramasi ve amerikanvari aksiyonu (araba sahneleri) ve uzun suresi izlenilebilirligini dusurdu.bittiginde hicbir sey anlamadim. basrolde balta-bicak ve oldboyumsu kotu adamiyla (filme hareket katan tek karakter) vasatalti bir gerilim-aksiyon.

Hong-jin Na clearly didn't have slightest idea what kind of movie he wanted to direct. Starts as a serious and realistic thriller, but after the first killing it changes into a cheesy and poorly written action junk. Gu-Nam transforms from lost, powerless person to some kind of superhero who outruns police cars and bullets in his arm or hatchet in his back doesn't change his physical condition even the slightest bit. Well at least it's really violent so I wasn't completely bored.

A tedious and poorly plotted montage of people hitting each other with knives and axes.
