Storyline
| Plot Summary |
On a dark road, taxi driver Kyung-chul (Min-sik Choi) comes across a scared female motorist stranded in a broken-down vehicle. He pulls over -- but not to help her. When the woman's head is discovered in a local river, her devastated fiancé, Kim Soo-hyeon (Byung-hun Lee), a trained secret agent, becomes obsessed with hunting down her killer. Once he finds Kyung-chul, things get twisted. After brutally beating the murderer, Kim lets him go free, and a demented game of cat and mouse begins. Written by krmanirethnam |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The Korea Media Rating Board forced Jee-woon Kim to recut the film for its theatrical release, objecting to its violent content. Otherwise, the film would have gotten a "Restricted" rating, preventing any sort of release in theaters or on home video. See more » |
| Goofs | After the fight in the greenhouse, Soo-hyeon breaks Kyung-Chul's left wrist. Yet shortly after, when Kyung-Chul kills the two men in the cab, he grabs and holds back the man in the rear seat while he alternately stabs him and the driver. He shouldn't have physically been able to do this with the wrist broken. Also, it would take six weeks for the wrist to heal, yet Kyung-Chul shows little sign of any impedance in using the left arm for the remainder of the film. See more » |

| Quotes |
Kim Soo-hyeon:
I will kill you when you are in the most pain. When you're in the most pain, shivering out of fear, then I will kill you. That's a real revenge. A real complete revenge. See more » |
