    Love it or hate it
    Traffickers (2012) (Korean Thriller) - This is a divisive film, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.

    A former human organ trafficker is coerced out of retirement. His target is a crippled woman on a boat to China, but her husband is determined to save her. This is well-acted, engaging, suspenseful, bloody, and throws out some of the most insane surprises in recent memory. Now, some viewers will write this film off as being somewhat outlandish, but I personally think that it works very well (it may take multiple viewings to properly assess whether or not it all makes sense). Some events also feel like contrivances at first, but most of these are cleared up as the film progresses. The entire second half is riveting. Even if the viewer doesn't buy what the script is selling, this is worth checking out. Just be prepared to love it or hate it.
