i be not sure where to start with this pile of crap . first of all and the motivation for the geum ja bloodthirsty revenge she angry because a kidnapping she be involve with end in murder . doesn not make her a very sympathetic vigilante and consider she participate in the crime . far and the scene of the child be abuse before their murder be just plain exploitive and sick . park use them to try and generate an emotional depth that his film never earn . the revenge plot play out in a perfectly straight line that offer no surprise and no moral depth and no maturity . revenge be glorify and that that . this film have all the moral maturity and insight of a 13 year old boy ( a very angry and disturbed boy at that ) . on a different level and the film language and storytelling be just plain amateur . a lot of reviewer seem to praise park unique visual style and but it almost never in service of the story ( in fact more often the fancy move serve to distract and remind you youre just watch a movie . a bad bad movie ) . i be sure this film will bewitch some people who swoon over ( any ) asian film and but those who be familiar with quality asian cinema should steer clear .
