User Review:

Some great acting and lot of violence and some shock, but sort of a dull plot , rated: 7/10
Despite Byung-hun Lee's great acting, I didn't really find this film all that great. The most going for this film, is the shock you will get from the violence of this movie. I also never hated a villain this much so far until I saw this movie, maybe cause Min-Sik Choi did a excellent job. But I really despised the character so much that I enjoyed every minute he had to endure suffering. But despite the blood and violence of this movie, I just couldn't really enjoy it that much. Mainly cause the plot isn't very original and kinda dull at times. But it was very satisfying to watch little by little how the psycho rapist killer gets what he deserves. Overall this isn't the best revenge flick I seen from Korea, but it's alright.

7.4/10
