Memorable, crazy movie

An action-packed slog

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Well, what can I say? I was expecting a nice period film from Korea's yesteryear but instead, I got a movie that dragged on and on. There are too many questions unanswered about the hit man, his target, the girl the hit man takes care of, and the Communist Party that sets the plot in motion. One thing to bear in mind, however, is that when this film was made, South Korea was under the anti-left dictatorship of Park Chung-hee.I understand that Lee is a famous Korean director, but this, I'm sure, is far from his best film. Save an hour and 20 minutes of your life and skip this.
