Load of rubbish!!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This movie is dark, gritty, no holds barred, and violent. Don't expect sunshine and rainbows here. There is no happiness or joy to be have by watching this amazing film. If you are into dark and bleak noir thrillers, you have to watch this. This is based on a true story involving a cannibal in Seoul who raped, killed, and ate his victims in the mid 2000's. His crimes shocked the country, similar to Jeffrey Dahmer who still continues to have an impact on American culture. This movie has great character development, particularly the main character who you don't like at first but in the end you are cheering for him when he decides to take the law into his own hands. Not as violent as I Saw The Devil (but what is?) but this film is a little bit better than I Saw The Devil.

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.

I just watched this movie and think it's one of the best crime thrillers I've ever seen and this genre happens to be my favorite.The main characters are fleshed out really well, everyone has a purpose. The main plot line is thrilling till the very end with a satisfying ending (you don't see those too often nowadays). It is also very dark and vicious, but still it's grounded and believable. If you're watching a lot of crime TV shows you know that stuff like that happens again and again. But still when it's made as perfectly as here it can and I think it will shock you. Also the transition and development the pimp cop is going through is believable and thanks to the awesome performance of the actor you are able to feel what he feels.The music was beautiful and fitting in every scene. The chase scenes were so much better than the stuff Hollywood is making. In the whole film there wasn't one moment when I got kicked out of the stuff that's happening on screen and the movie kept it's thrill till the very last minute with a beautiful shot in the end that will stay in my memory for a long time.I don't really understand the relatively low score the movie gets from users on this site, because I think it's really up there with the best films in this film genre.

Having seen some amazing Korean thrillers, I was expecting something sleek, stylish, and evocative. This movie was neither. The look of the movie was low-budget, the directing was pedestrian, and the only enjoyable aspect of the movie was the comedy.The cast was decent, so the movie's mediocrity can't be blamed on the actors. The plot and pacing seemed the fundamental weakness. The story kind of lumbered along and the conduct of the protagonist, the villain, and the police seemed frequently hard to believe.As a B-movie, it's alright, but if you're looking for something gripping there are many much better Asian crime dramas out there. The movie is currently rated 7.9 out of 10, which seemed absurdly high to me.
