Ga-myeon

Whenever I want a good serial killer movie, and am tired of Se7en, I look to Korea for my fix. They never disappoint with police procedural that slowly take you to the bad guy.

The story goes back to childhood and the Army, where one of the characters is torn by his affection for another. Their conflicted love carries forward to the present when they bump into each other again.

The acting is superb and the pacing is good. You are never quite sure who the killer is until the end. The director manages to keep the film believable while he works in the twists and turns that make it stand out.

Gyu-ri Kim really impressed me as a hard nose female cop in the film. I'm going to seek her out in the future.
