Description: Special police agent goes on the trail of a serial killer who raped and murdered his fiancee, who was pregnant. The desire for revenge became purpose of his life. However, he did not think about the means to achieve it – blurs the boundaries between good and evil, blood is shed, at any moment the hunter himself can become a victim. Starring Min-sik Choi, who also filmed in another rape/revenge movie Lady Vengeance
Review: Shot on usual high standard with high levels of violence and a naturalistic thriller really makes think about the boundaries of the genre, the ceiling, which is already visible and hardly possible conceptual Koreans quantum leap in that direction. “I Saw the Devil” is well filmed and placed at the beginning and end of the film contrast introduced melancholy music, iconic actors is quite good, the ambivalence of the disclosure within the place – it’s all good. It seemed to me that the film commercials for twenty minutes delayed. We Can Song povyigryshney role, well, he better actor than his youthful partner. Eco in the infamous book identifies the devil as belief without a smile: the filmmakers deliberately create opportunities for the name of different interpretations, and who, in fact, the devil. However, a strong thriller hardly illustrated something really quite philosophical, but rather once again confirmed banal things like that are always professional and amateur bypass with weak nerves at the card table is better not to sit down.
