Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (Boksuneun Naui Geot) (2002)

The first in a trilogy of Korean revenge films. I only started this series after hearing good things about the second film, Oldboy, which I hope is better than this one. The cinematography and direction are fine, but the story could use some work. The viewer is left to assume a lot, since events happen with little explanation. It wasn't very tight. If you're looking for an action/thriller, you best move along. Blood doesn't flow until the anti-climactic ending. Depressing to say the least.

Rating: C-
