Implasible Storyline

Rating: 5/10 (13 June 2013)

This movie is actually about Woo-Jin's revenge not Dae-Su's because Dae-Su did absolutely nothing (post-imprisonment) to hurt the guy who had so wronged him. I mean, he knocked around a couple of his henchmen but Woo-Jin obviously didn't care because he blew his own bodyguards head off just because he couldn't hear him. If you are going to make a movie about revenge, the protagonist should have a better reason than some kid spreading a rumour about your incestuous affair. Plus, what was that bullshit about her getting pregnant because she believed in a rumour? I suppose there were no pregnancy tests or doctors in that day and age. To add insult to injury, the hypnotist in the end tells Dae-Su that he doesn't deserve her help except that even beasts deserve to live. How can she rationalize helping Woo-Jin and not Dae-Su. I'm surprised he didn't try to have her killed for the part she played in his predicament. Plus, wiping Dae-Su's memory while leaving his daughter's memory intact just allows him to fall in love all over again without the burden of guilt. Kinda makes his tongue-cutting sacrifice seem pointless if you ask me. I've heard a lot about this movie and it has such a high rating that I expected a lot more from it.
