A classic that cannot be passed by! A brilliant film. I highly recommend watching it, you will not regret a single minute spent.
All the components of the film are on the level. The film keeps you in suspense until the very end.
Individual applause for the director, Park Chang-wook did his best 👏

The voiceover by Kutsenko's voice is somehow a little annoying

@AnastasOs: On the other hand, his rustling voice with the phlegmatic image of Wu-Jin gave an interesting combination. If he had been voiced by a professional dubbing actor, it would have been a little different, because especially today we associate Russian dubbing with certain actors and images on the subcortex.

I really want to analyze this masterpiece as a psychological portrait. Sort through each frame and look for hidden meaning, build theories and ask new questions. Very much this topic develops new and new questions. And this concept is the film itself - we are given information that should be answered. But it's hard for us, we see what they want to show us, and at the same time we draw conclusions. From about this moment, the film begins, where the main character wanders through endless corridors and streets. The thin line of the entire Korean film history is revenge, and here it all boils down to very harsh consequences of long-standing actions. We are what we eat. I have never seen such an elaborate film about the thirst for payback. The concept is truly unique and even then it was worth putting the film on all possible awards. If you are fans of thinking about puzzles, then you will not find a more perfect movie.

It used to seem like some kind of regular action movie. But in fact, it is very catchy what an unusual story the lives of the characters, understandable to everyone, have wrapped up in. I was worried about both the main character and the antagonist. Shooting at altitude. I saw the iconic fight scene in the hallway

I couldn't watch it 10 years ago, when the movie with Brolin was released. I started, but it seemed like such a mess, although I had already entered Korean cinema, and one of the tapes was - I saw the devil - with the same actor GG from Oldboy. Well, today I realized that I need to watch the classics. There is a lot of atypical in the work, unlike Hollywood cinema. It is not possible to set up some kind of unambiguous emotional response during viewing. In the film, they do not give the opportunity to divide into black and white, to find unambiguous villains and good-natured people. Everything is kind of domestic, troubles do not escalate, conflicts have a philosophical meaning, although, with general simplification, this is a story about the embodiment of the Talion principle. For all its cruelty, there are more reflections after the film than shocks.

I liked the movie, but the fact that he slept with his daughter is terrible, and after learning this, he did not stop sleeping with her and loving her like a woman, even though she is his daughter.. that's really trash was full, and the actor is gorgeous, I watched a lot of projects with him and the game is fascinating. A very diverse actor

A brutal thriller with notes of revenge, violence and devastation.

"When my revenge is done, will I be able to become the same...?"
