Film Recommendation - I Saw The Devil

★★★★★★★

Good [For rating system, see information tab at top of blog]

'I Saw The Devil' is a crime/thriller that I would recommend to the dedicated fans of the more extreme side of cinema. It is, to say the least, intense, containing gore levels that would rival any horror I can think of. 

That being said, 'I Saw The Devil' is an excellent film; although brutal and gripping. The narrative blurs the line between what is morally right and wrong, and forces you as an audience to question your beliefs. It follows the story of a secret agent seeking sadistic revenge on the serial killer who murdered his pregnant fiance. 

The film is South Korean in origin, directed by Jee-Woon Kim. It stars Min-sik Choi the same leading actor who was critically acclaimed in 'Old Boy'. The direction and writing are very good which, combined with the intense performances from the cast, contributed to a very impressive finished film.

It is not for the faint of heart by any means, but I would recommend it nonetheless!
