If you enjoy The Chaser or The man from nowhere, You will absolutely love this film. In fact, if you love thrillers...this is for you. The villain, is probably one of the worst villains ever, is also very funny. The main character who has questionable orals is still very likable and found myself rooting for him. The basic plot in one sentence is pretty much an assassination of a professor gone wrong. The main character find himself being chased by the police, the villain, and someone else (which I won't reveal or else it will be a spoiler.) The action scenes are so brutal but realistic. The scenes are fast and real tense. There twists are so good and fitting for this thriller. The action will keep you on the edge of your seat but your mind will be asking a few questions which will be all answered if you pay attention close enough. All the actors were excellent. The guy who played the villain was the "good" guy in the The Chaser. He played his character so well, I didn't even recognize him. His speech, mannerisms, and expressions had me believe his character. I also loved the ending which could be debated.

Gritty, bloody, what a bleak crime thriller which is purely Korean, without anything taken from Hollywood crap industry; no influence from the West, except maybe this awesome car chase which is the only good point that we could find from American movies. The main character is really compelling, poignant, and that increases, emphasizes the impact of his fate on the audiences. Yes, this movie belongs to the list of Korean material which was not contaminated by the US craps virus, disease, with their ever happy f... endings made for idiots. NIGHT IN PARADISE, SYMPATHY FOR MR VENGEANCE, I SAW THE DEVIL, THE CHASER, BITTERSWEET LIFE. These are also pure absolute gems too from South Korea.
