Daring, hard-to-digest... but will no doubt gain from multiple viewings.

Rating: 6/10 (27 November 2006)

Daring, hard-to-digest urban revenge story that keeps one guessing right to the end. Loaded with obvious gangster theme touches, lots of impressive visuals, a roller-coaster pace and many characters to keep track of. Indeed, this saga will leave no audience untouched, as the off-turning scenes add up.
It does carry questionable credibility, but unfamiliar with Korean cinema in general as I am, it could just be common practice of style? I found it at its strongest in the tragic story twisting and multi-layered characters. Will no doubt gain from multiple viewings... But when I'm ready; though- it's a rough ride to unbuckle the seat belt from!
