Revenge is served.

Rating: 6/10 (22 November 2013)

I saw things coming for a change. There are pretty obvious hints at how things will turn out, and that felt a little sloppy. On top of that, this kind of overly elaborate revenge for a reasonably understandable betrayal was just too much. One could argue that this Woo-Jin was simply a disturbed guy to begin with, but it doesn't really help. In other words, the dramatic aspect does not relate properly to the other aspects, which I will go into in the next paragraph.
What remains is an entertaining film that reminded me much of a Hitchcock with extra servings of well done violence (the scene is the hallway is pretty cool), a perversity salad of and a kind of complicated, mysterious little soup on the side. Check please? That comes to a total of 6 out of 10 stars.
