    This revenge film is obviously bloody and brutally violent. But other than the subsequent shock value, Soo offers hardly anything else.

    Sadly, there's nothing here that hasn't been done better elsewhere. The plot is bland, the acting is okay, and even the violence is aver...( read more)age in comparison.

    If you're looking for a great Asian revenge film, see Oldboy or Dog Bite Dog instead.

    Revenge. Always a great concept for a bloody violent movie. Although not entirely original, this film gives you pretty much what you expect it to. A decent enough story with a whole lot of bloody violence.

    This film actually starts out pretty good, story-wise, as it lays the

    ...( read more) premise for the rest of the film. It does a nice job of going back and forth between the present and the past to show the relationships between the different characters. Once the buildup and introduction is all done though, the story becomes quite bland and the pace becomes really slow. At times it can become a little boring as you are eager for the main character to start hunting down the villains. There are little teases of violence in the middle and it may disappoint people to see so little, but it is all saved for the grand finale. Everything you've been waiting to see in this film is thrown at you all at once making for a bloody entertaining conclusion to an already decent film.

    The acting, for the most part, is not too bad, especially for a movie like this. Ji-Jin Hee does a nice job as the lead Tae-Soo.

    As far as the gore goes, it isn't really that gory. Unless you consider blood as gore, then by all means it is gory. This film is filled with blood from the numerous stabbings that take place throughout the film. If you are not a fan of blood and violence then do not watch this movie. Then again, I don't know why you would be watching this movie in the first place, if not for the bloody violence.

    This film will satisfy a lot of peoples violent needs for the evening, but there are other movies like this that are much better. One example is Oldboy. But, if you've already seen Oldboy, then go ahead and give this a shot.
