Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Prashast Singh Movie: The Chaser (18)Rating: 4.5/5South Korean Cinema is continuously giving terrific movies be it any year. New or old, the action thrillers there are honestly engaging. Director Na Hong-jin's extremely well made, well scripted and well shot action thriller THE CHASER is yet another film from South Korea which is obviously excellent. For lovers of such films, there's nothing more you could wish for.THE CHASER manages to break the boundaries which normally films don't. Be it the mind-boggling thrills or the highly octane action sequences, everything about this film is excellent from the start to end. Na Hong- jin is a great director, we all know, and he uses the two lead actors Kim Yoon-seok and Ha Jung-woo brilliantly. The film never gives you what we usually expect in movies of this genre. It delivers everything out of the box. In other words, the film is unpredictable and there's no chance of being disappointed with this film.Kim Yoon-seok and Ha Jung-woo are amongst the most talented actors from South Korea. Their performances are extraordinarily excellent. Other actors deliver decent performances. Visually, this film is both stunning and appealing so try to catch it either on a Blu-ray or simply in high quality. The tension and atmosphere of the film are both built brilliantly and the solid action sequences hold your breath as they unfold. The humour present throughout the film is decent. Cinematography is also praiseworthy. The editing, however needed to be tighter in a few portions but that's absolutely fine and this minor flaw can be ignored.With that, THE CHASER turns out to be another out-of-the-box, unpredictable and unexpectedly very gripping and amazing action thriller which deserves to be watched. Due to the overall product being excellent, it can be watched more than once.

A_Different_Drummer Korean cinema represents some of the most technically perfect film-making in the world and director Hong-jin Na stands out even among his peers for his specific ability to engage and hook viewers into some of the most bizarre stories ever put on film.Chaser, based on a real series of events, might be one of the most backward police procedurals ever told. Everything happens out of sequence.Off the top of the film a young mother is savagely attacked by a demented serial killer. This of course "hooks" the viewer. Is she still alive? Can anyone rescue her? But the only one coming to her rescue is an ex-cop who is now a pimp and does not even believe the serial killer -- even when he confesses.Confused? You are supposed to be. These seeming paradoxes are the essence of Hong-jin Na's world, a world where (if you check out the rest of his work) the adults act like children and the children are invariably smarter than the adults.I have commented in my review of The Wailing that the art and majesty of Hong-jin Na's work as a director and story-teller is the humanistic slant, his ability to make the viewer care about the people on screen, no matter how strange the story gets.American directors could learn from such a master.

maknitanje I didn't expect this! I'm thrilled. First 30 minutes I thought this might be boring movie, but in the end my heartbeat was insane.The main character went from being "I don't give a damn, all I want is money" to "I'm gonna save this child's mom even if I die". He couldn't even believe these women were killed, because it's unimaginable, like we all would think. All his quotes were so normal, stupid and real. Not like in most thriller movies where you can hear just smart, serious, detective quotes.Cops who are not experienced in crimes like this and are not sure what to do.Beating scenes so incredibly real, you could almost feel it. And that poor woman, after all she's been threw was concerned he won't be mad at her for leaving prostitution. I think we all just wanted her to stay alive.And the sociopath.. Oh my God, you could almost feel him behind you, starring at you and waiting for the moment to do what he do.. And I love the fact it's not Hollywood, It was so unpredictable. Just give it a chance and watch it.

Adam Peters (68%) A super gritty cat and mouse horror/thriller that's as engrossing as it is unpredictable. The performance from Kim Yoon-seok as the film's good guy hunting for evidence in the tough streets of Seoul, while at the same time he's a sleazy pimp meaning the blend between good and bad is never quite crystal clear; although the bad guy is 100% evil and make no mistake. In terms of violence there are a couple of scenes that are very grim to watch, but actually most of the killings take place off-screen, while it's the oppressive feel and painful turn of events that make this a memorable piece. Anyone with a fondness for harder-edged, tough, dark thrillers should certainly track this one down.
