Since I am now immersing myself to investigative, criminal, suspense and thriller movies that involves blood and brutality-- I picked this movie from Sir Ricky's shelf. It was a good choice. :)
The story is about a series of killings and the investigation process on solving the crime. The story is about Suh, a detective from Seoul and Park, a detective that lives on the area where the crime happens. At first, I hate it because there is no clarity at the end who the killer was. But it is actually the main reason why the movie is unique from the other movies. That's how reality is, sometimes you just know the truth but you feel helpless on convincing others because you can't give enough evidence. I like the way they also made it questionable for the audience. The audience would also sit back and think after the movie. I can imagine people asking- oh, wait, so who is the true killer then?
Scenes I like: The scene where Suh is beating the crap out of the last suspect. On that scene at the railroad you can feel the change of character of Suh because of the circumstance. The feeling of helplessness, the want to get the truth finally. The scene is very human. I can feel the emotion from Suh, and the sudden change of actions.
I also love the ending scene. The ending where Park went back to the crime scene after a 5-10 years. You can feel the calling of the area telling you to come back even after a long period of time, the unclosed crime the unsolved mystery. The want to know who the killer is. If he could have went there earlier he could have seen the person who visited. If the girl just gave more details or perhaps had taken a picture of the guy it could have been solved. But no. The audience longing to know also heightens. I love that dramatic feel.
I also read on the internet that the movie has symbolisms on it pertaining to Korea's political history. I don't know if it matters though, because for me the movie is truthful enough. Eventhough there is tendency that you'll feel impatient and wanting to hasten up the development of the investigation, I love the uniqueness and the Indie feel of the ending. It makes you think.
For my own opinion and own feeling right now: I give this movie a 3.75/5.
