A brilliant and a very disturbing revenge drama from Kim Ki-Duk. Most surprising thing is that this movie has dialogue, lots of dialogue for a Kim Ki-Duk film. It follows the story of a brutal man who works for a Loan Shark and ruthlessly cripples people if they don't return the borrowed money on time. His activities destroy many poor families leaving them in the dark. The movie tests the values of human relationships in a very brutal manner. Especially the value of parental love and the sacrifices they do. The characters are multidimensional and very unpredictable. There are many disturbing scenes which will haunt you for a long time. At the end you'll have mixed feelings about the protagonist, you want to cheer for his destruction at the same time you'll feel bad for his suffrage. The climax was perfect and will haunt you for a while. One of the best movies of the year.
