Superb

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2006)

Not my first Asian film, but definitely my favourite of 2006. A previous fan of Japanese cinema, i am amazed at the quality of actors, directors and crew that is being produced by Korea. This film couldn't have been made by any other country with double the budget, which is what makes it special. The plot is one of the finest, most intriguing i have seen and there is no shortage of violence, empathy and twists to keep it interesting till the very end. I believe the main actor won and award for his performance and rightly so, I was totally convinced this man had been imprisoned for 15 years, i could see it in his eyes. Please stop reading reviews and watch this film, too many opinions will ruin it for you.
