Hoezo in KINO

“I will kill you when you are in the most pain. When you’re in the most pain, shivering out of fear, then I will kill you. That’s real revenge.” Leave it to the South Koreans to really twist the knife with a revenge story so dark and relentless, you find yourself wishing that even the avenging party would take it down a notch. Lee Byun-hun (A Bittersweet Life, No Other Choice) and Choi Min-sik (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance) feature in this tormenting tail featuring a government agent pursuing a serial killer with a relentless series of ‘catch and release’ attacks, exacting revenge in a way that challenges the limits of everyone involved, including the audience. Director Kim Jee-woon (A Tale of Two Sisters) drags you to the heart of darkness with this exploration of wrath and what can still be considered justified retaliation, even when the initial crime might allow the motivation. Korean language with English subtitles.
