Movie, not very good

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2006)

I gave this movie a 7/10 because for me it was very original and I have not seen a whole lot like it before. That being said being different does not make it good. Being Korean and subtitled does not make it good either. Here are some problems that I had with the movie.
1. The actors are not very good. I did watch the subtitled version because that is the way you "need" to watch a foreign film, but the acting was still very deliberate and over the top.
2. The entire plot "revenge" was based on a false blame the anti-hero places on the hero. He knows what he did was wrong, and he knows he killed his sister but he takes it out on someone else in such a deliberate time consuming manner.
3. Why does Dae Su keep tunneling out of his "prison". Every time he attempts to kill himself the gas comes in and he is saved. Does he honestly think he can escape? That is insane.
4. Keep hypnotizing people to do what you would like them to do. This would make any movie more interesting, but is very unrealistic. Why doesn't any villain just hipnotize his nemesis into destroying himself. It is a simplistic way to arrange the events of the film into a desired manner.
5. How many Asian people are there in the world? Why are they all sleeping with their relatives? I for one am all for a remake. The main reason I am pro-remake in this case is because I feel that the acting was so poor in the first. They do it with Asian actors again for all care, it does not have to be an American re-make, however the acting needs to be much better.
