It is very hard to talk about this movie without spoiling it. So, I will talk around the movie. If you like violent movies then go for this one. If not, stay away.
My wife asked me, why do you watch the worst side of Korea when I started watching this. She is right. The movie doesn't portray the country in the most positive light. It makes the society out to be full of gangsters and crimes that go unsolved because no one cares. But every country that has film has these kinds of movies. I suppose it is more a reflection on me for watching it than Korea for having a person that made it.
This is an ultraviolent movie. Think Quentin Tarantino here. That is actually a very apt comparison as the movie twists into something that manages to turn your stomach and still keep you watching.
