"The Chaser" reminded me almost from the start to another great thriller "I Saw The Devil", but neither is far from "Memories of Murder" or many korean titles in recent years. It seems the last korean cinematography based much of his success in these thrilling stories with serial murderer police involved. Another hallmark of these films is their almost morbid delectation in extreme violence, altho... read more

"6.12.12. Netflix/PS3 Tätä rankemmanpuoleista sarjamurhaajatrilleriä kohtaan ei erityisemmin ollut odotuksia, olihan tämä E-Koreassa tuotettu elokuva, mutta katsoin koska sarjamurhaajaelokuvat kiehtovat ja Memories of Murder oli tehnyt niin hyvän vaikutuksen taannoin. Elokuvassa on oikeastaan kolme osapuolta eikä kyseessä ole kovin tyypillinen sarjamurhaajaelokuva siksikään, että murhaajan identiteetti olisi tuntematon tai että häntä etsittäisiin koko elokuvan ajan.

" Netflix Instant Intense, compelling, and grim, much like a lot of Korean Cinema's output these days. This one has the pleasant distinction from a few other titles I've watched of being more firmly grounded in emotional credibility and plenty of moments of unglamorized, strikingly real human experience. In short, this movie is "my style". Oh, and I was afraid the whole Bad-Ass Dude/Vulnerable Abandoned Little Girl aspect was going to ruin the whole thing for me and usher in much rolling of t"
