Absolute classic! what a film, from the amazingly shocking to hillarious, this movie has moments that trigger every emotion. The story is superb and the ending is up there with the best. Go into this film without review bias or knowledge beyond the synopsis and you will find a really gem of a story.
MUST SEE!!

what a superb film. it's like nothing that i have ever seen before. in park chan-wook's films, no subject is ever taboo. do not watch if you are easily offended or shocked. my missus had to walk out of the room (but she's a softy. she went to see Se7en at the cinema, took one look at the fat guy sat in spaghetti sauce and left). the twist near the end where everything is revealed, left me sat in my armchair, open mouthed. superb acting and a great score add to the viewing pleasure. one of the best films i've seen in a while and fully merits it's 5 star rating.

When I bought this movie, I thought I was getting a simple revenge story.
Perhaps at it's most basic level it is, but it also is much more than that.

I wouldn't call this a horror movie by any stretch of the imagination, although there are several scenes that will make you cringe.

The plot is both straight forward and complicated at the same time, mostly coming from the fact that you are kept guessing until later in the movie. (Not gonna spoil anything here)

Simply put, the story is incredibly strong, emotional, disturbing and at times very funny.
The fight scenes are incredibly well done and the acting as well as directing is top notch.

Without a doubt it deserves a place in any movie collection.
