The film feels too smitten with its own cleverness both narratively and technically. Despite the overly contrived structure, it does have several moments and images that stick. Many of these flaws are addressed in the sequels.

Amazing film about the cycle of violence and, as the title says revenge. After a certain point it just never lets up and becomes.difficult as hell to watch. Definitely glad I saw it though.

Park Chan-wook knows how to frame a long still shot, goddamn. Preferred the first half over the gory second half myself but I suppose I'd better get used to it for the next two in the trilogy. Song Kang-ho is goat as always

Once again (as with Old Boy), not my kind of story, but every scene is visually exciting and fresh. Sort of like an Asian Tarantino...

Oldboy (probably most people's introduction to the trilogy) is gleefully hyperbolic. It knows that it's ridiculous, grotesque, and barely human and makes no concessions. It reads like a comic book. Mr. Vengeance, otoh, adopts a much more serious dramatic tone and slower pace - not to say there isn't more than a helping of ultraviolence. Ultimately director Park Chan-Wook just isn't as good at the human drama thing as he is at the thriller aspect, so it falls a little short of its sequel.

This is a very bleak and brutal movie with a few bits of levity and humor early on. Not as over the top or artsy as Lady Vengeance and definitely not a visceral and mean as OldBoy. I felt the film meandered a bit too much and that none of the characters were likeable or believable. It's still a great movie just not as good as the other films in the "trilogy".

Thriller? Action? while you're at it, Medieval Fantasy? OK, to see that we have to watch until the third act, meaning, forty minutes until the end, so an hour and a ten minutes of an Asian Drama, prelude to the Crimes but not a Thriller neither an Action movie. Asian films as usual badly tagged. By the way, I do not know who did the plot resume but hideous one.

One of the three movies that focus in the themes of vengance by Park Chan-wook. This one in particular is more real but that's what makes it more disheartening. The film has this particular atmosphere of dreariness which is amplified by the long silences whenever Ryu is involved. The direction allows the movie to show and not tell, using the talent from its actors and the robust screenplay brings you into this story of morbidness, regret and pain in which all the characters are stuck.
