The Chaser takes on the tone of many similar, gritty Korean movies. It's great, but it's often unlikable. The Chaser angers it's audience by not following conventions. The darkness brings a sense that this is probably what 'would' happen, not what 'should' happen. The film is yet...( read more)
A hack job and a tedious exercise in pointless tricks and gimmicks, this movie is not "smart" or "clever", it just turns every single character that is not the killer into a dumb bufoon that can't even catch a cold. Silly coincidences, silly situations and plenty of gore to distr...( read more)
Extremely intense and graphically violent film. While i don't usually have a problem stomaching this kind of film, I found it particularly hard to sit through this one. I didn't get up and leave the theater, like a number of people all around me, nor was i tempted to, but i did f...( read more)
Hong-jin Na's directorial debut is what SAW should've been. it's like a cross between that and Se7en. those south koreans have done it yet again! it's not totally predictable which keeps it interesting

Un excellent film, pas le genre où le tueur en série est quelqun de cool et qu'on aimerait secrètement être, mais plutôt le genre de film où le tueur est remis à sa place celle d'une ordure pitoyable, lâche et faible. Y'a des moments drôle de part et d'autre du film et aussi des ...( read more)
Dark, brutal and spiked with originality. This Korean cop thriller genre can be very violent what I'm excepted. The chase is on, and the roller coaster of emotions following the pimp and the cops trying to stop the serial killer is nothing less than gripping, watching them go fro...( read more)
