"I've seen this because my husband has it on DVD. It is a lot to take in but it's a good film. I definitely would recommend anyone sensitive to violence and gore think twice before viewing it. "

"I’ve heard about this “unbelievable” movie for years and years and always wondered why I could never find it streaming anywhere. Well, I figured out why! If I say it here, it’s a huge spoiler. But, umm, maybe there should be? Like, trigger warning? I’m kinda shocked i never heard it. Seriously, I really don’t like how I feel right now after watching this 20 year old very unique, so graphic there’s a 50% chance you’ll vomit, with some of the coolest fight scenes movies. Who knows, it actually could be a masterpiece. But is it good? To each their own I guess. "

"Most people look at me crazy when I tell them this is a comfort movie of mine…but yeah this is a comfort movie of mine..😬 I’m not sure what it is about it, it could be the way in which it was filmed and how actually whimsical it is, it could be it’s beautiful color palette with deep red and purples..I for sure know it’s not the story but even the story is so good and told in a way you’d never guess what the answers are. Another movie that is really f-ed so do your research! #drama #mystery "

"A strange tale of woe, fighting, revenge and death. The tale is complex. The message is go for the long game of revenge. "

"Quintessential. This is the movie that opened my eyes to Korean cinema. "

"Such a good movie I haven't seen in years"

"I first want to say I predicted the plot twist in the beginning. But even with that I think It just made it hit harder. Such a vile way to get back at someone. The replaying of the audio. The way his mind is just destroyed at the end. Just a very solid ending. Even before that though I really enjoyed this. I love how no scene feels dragged out. Also how well dae san pulls of that 15 years in prison vibe. He is very much out of touch in the world. And how he can just react so extremely in any situation. Or just doesn’t talk and just leaves sometimes. The fight scenes were great even if it wasn’t the focus. The camera was amazing as well. Great soundtrack. Also I just love the antagonist performance as well. His full commitment to this one thing in his life. Just amazing how smart he is and seemed to always be a step ahead. The hypnosis was a bit annoying for me mainly just doesn’t seem believable. Nonetheless I didn’t mind much because It made it a wonderful film. Lastly I also really enjoyed the dialogue and the setting as well. Top favorite movie for sure"

"Dark and intense, but extremely powerful."

"This is one of my top 10 movies of all time"

"Just think of the most shocking thing that could happen in a film where not much happens and that’s the twist. I actually guessed it because I just thought of the most effed up thing they could do and that’s what they did. It is well made and different but it’s also just trying to shock/gross you out in the worst way possible. All that being said I do think it’s worth one watch. "
