    Though the synopsis describes this as "darkly comic", there didn't seem to be anything that was remotely funny. The movie is one long stretch of bloody hostility that closely resembles a Korean version of "Deliverance". Unfortunately, the movie fails mainly due to unclear plot points, missing information and ludicrous turns in the storyline. The deleted scenes clarify so much of the movie, one can only wonder as to why some of those scenes weren't included in the DVD release. In fact, one of the deleted scenes could change your opinion of the female character. And another deleted scene actually provided a better finale. The acting, directing and cinematography were very well done. The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio option made very good use of surround sound. As for extras, there's a "Deleted Scenes" featurette (20:53 min) containing thirteen scenes with and without the director's commentary, a "Behind-the-Scenes Featurette" (24:26 min) and trailers for four other titles. Lightly recommended.

    This is a movie of the bad guy getting theirs. Every new character that enters the plot is more brutal than the previous giving you a sense of feeling sorry for the previous villian. A little wierd in some parts and its has subtitles, but in all not bad a movie.
