"Based on a true story, with the ULTIMATE GOAL of highlighting the flaws of the South Korean Police Force and the story of one of South Korea's most brutal serial killers.." great quote... but not convincing... this movie made me suffer.. A LOT!! not because of violence, but of sheer stupidity.. and yeah of course: the police was stupid and that was one of the movies messages.. but come on, everyone involved is so damned stupid especially the useless hero.. it's unbelievable. and painful.

kind of sad as the movie could have been quite good apart of being complete irritating nonsense...

still a fan of korean flicks though.. i'll forgive this one.

It's great entertainment, impressive battle scenes... more than average acting... all good. But it's really annoying to hear everybody claiming it's such an antiwar movie.. bla, bla, bla.. No, it is not. The moral between the lines is rotten.. sorry. And no, do not dare to compare it with "Apocalypse Now"... Jeez what's wrong with you people....? Read some Camus, Nietzsche or even Dostojewskji to get an opinion on such a topic (Yes, they all broached the issue of war).

This is just a statement, skipping the essential need to deliver arguments to support it. I know. You take the next step and do the thinking yourself ;-)

Give it an 8 for the entertainment. But a 3 for the actual moral, educational.... value.
