Absolutely wonderful!

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2013)

For a movie considered as being extremely violent, I didn't find it frightening or violent at all. What I did think was however, is that it is one of the most powerfully moving and tragic movies I have ever seen. And it is packaged as a gripping, slickly made thriller that one can't help but devour right until the shocking climax, which hits you like a ton of bricks. And another nice thing is that the movie doesn't lose any of its emotional/psychological impact on repeat viewings. Not only does this movie boast an excellent plot and screenplay, it has wonderful acting, gorgeous cinematography and a divine soundtrack. The black humor (signature Park Chan Wook) is also well-done. A must watch! And a solid 10/10.
