Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
... View MoreIt's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

... View MoreThis movie is dark, gritty, no holds barred, and violent. Don't expect sunshine and rainbows here. There is no happiness or joy to be have by watching this amazing film. If you are into dark and bleak noir thrillers, you have to watch this. This is based on a true story involving a cannibal in Seoul who raped, killed, and ate his victims in the mid 2000's. His crimes shocked the country, similar to Jeffrey Dahmer who still continues to have an impact on American culture. This movie has great character development, particularly the main character who you don't like at first but in the end you are cheering for him when he decides to take the law into his own hands. Not as violent as I Saw The Devil (but what is?) but this film is a little bit better than I Saw The Devil.
... View MoreHomeboy!! This was one awesome pimp. Disgruntled former detective turned pimp takes on the task of frantically trying to find the man responsible for what he believes to be the selling off of some of his girls. He links the phone number of a client to the missing girls but only after the client calls for a new girl and the pimp sends her out. The pimp gets in touch with his girl and gives her instructions to call back with the address of this client so that he can confront the man. Once she arrives and there is no cell service from the location, the evening begins to spiral into a night of chaos. It was a near perfect movie. I actually wish I could give it a 9 1/2 stars! I loved everything about this with my one complaint being that the final confrontation was shot in such low lighting that it was hard to see and enjoy the full ferocity of the moment in all its beauty. If you are looking for something with a healthy dose of action and suspense, you will be happy with this. Great movie.

... View MoreMovie: The Chaser (18)Rating: 4.5/5South Korean Cinema is continuously giving terrific movies be it any year. New or old, the action thrillers there are honestly engaging. Director Na Hong-jin's extremely well made, well scripted and well shot action thriller THE CHASER is yet another film from South Korea which is obviously excellent. For lovers of such films, there's nothing more you could wish for.THE CHASER manages to break the boundaries which normally films don't. Be it the mind-boggling thrills or the highly octane action sequences, everything about this film is excellent from the start to end. Na Hong- jin is a great director, we all know, and he uses the two lead actors Kim Yoon-seok and Ha Jung-woo brilliantly. The film never gives you what we usually expect in movies of this genre. It delivers everything out of the box. In other words, the film is unpredictable and there's no chance of being disappointed with this film.Kim Yoon-seok and Ha Jung-woo are amongst the most talented actors from South Korea. Their performances are extraordinarily excellent. Other actors deliver decent performances. Visually, this film is both stunning and appealing so try to catch it either on a Blu-ray or simply in high quality. The tension and atmosphere of the film are both built brilliantly and the solid action sequences hold your breath as they unfold. The humour present throughout the film is decent. Cinematography is also praiseworthy. The editing, however needed to be tighter in a few portions but that's absolutely fine and this minor flaw can be ignored.With that, THE CHASER turns out to be another out-of-the-box, unpredictable and unexpectedly very gripping and amazing action thriller which deserves to be watched. Due to the overall product being excellent, it can be watched more than once.
