But it's not! Even the most disappointing movie that I have seen from Park Chan Wook to date (haven't seen "I'm a cyborg but that OK" yet), it's still better than other directors best work! And when I say worst, it's as you can see from my rating, not a bad movie, but we have been spoiled (or I have at least), by his other movies. This is shot and edited in a great way, but it's the plot that is the least interesting and gripping one (if you compare it with the others ...)
The others being two movies that complete his Vengeance trilogy. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance & Old Boy being the other two movies, but as with the Leone Dollar Trilogy, there is no connection to one another. Only the main theme is the same throughout: Vengeance. A theme that he likes as he "confessed" in an interview at the International Film Festival at Berlin. Also seen in his first movie JSA (Joint Security Area) and his short film for Three Extremes!
