Well, there is no doubt Quentin Tarantino praised the movie. When a movie is great, it is great for everybody. This thriller kept me strapped till the very end and for some time after that.
Well, genres are limited but perspective can be new. And this movie has catered a very fresh one. This movie has become one of my most favorite revenge movies. The thing I liked the most was that gravity of the situation didn't require any emphasis. None of the actors had to convince the audience for empathy. The overall cast was subtle about it. Starting with acting, this movie has Min-Sik Choi, the guy in Old Boy and Lucy. He knows his job and like always gave a godly performance. The protagonist was completely in the match with Choi and so were the girls.Coming to music, it was absolutely mesmerizing, defined the scenes better than dialogues and bound all the factors together. Direction is of the highest order, with use of a very succinct conversation formula, he has managed to bring out the correct intensity at correct moments. Climax can be anticipated but that doesn't make it any less of a thriller. Movies like these have made Asian thrillers the best ones in business. The word "Asian" excludes Bollywood, which has again done a disdainful job in copying and making a crap like movie titled "EK VILLAIN". Watch "I Saw the Devil" and get hooked. Great movie.
