"Akmareul boatda (I Saw the Devil)" (2010)



-one of the best revenge films since the "Kill Bill" series; raw and gut-wrenching violent

-excellent character development; we could feel every emotion of even the smallest character who doesn't even speak; which obviously means the performances were pitch-perfect

-cinematography was visually stunning; it had this floating feeling and we got a real sense for the action- loved the long takes

-yes the violence was excessive but like a Tarantino film: it works!

-the title is expertly misleading- who is the devil: the serial killing psychopath or the ruthless-revenge seeking lover- and the ending is a perfect realization of who is who
