andrea c Splendido poliziesco che dà vita a quella che probabilmente è una delle trilogie più importanti del cinema koreano, e lo fa con una sceneggiatura semplicemente perfetta. Trama coinvolgente ed avvincente fin dalle prime battute, continuo innesto di personaggi nuovi e di cambiamenti repentini di ritmo e di oggetto; oltre ad una serie di dialoghi serrati e quasi mai banali, danno vita ad un film estremamente impattante che tiene incollati allo schermo. Pazzesca l'abilità del regista di mantenere sempre altissima l'attenzione, nonostante i numerosi cambi proposti, dapprima il dubbio sul killer, poi il dubbio sulla confessione ed infine la ricerca disperata della donna e poi della vendetta. Ogni elemento viene proposto con la stessa qualità, non mancano però nemmeno alcune sequenze in cui la tensione viene stemperata. Alcuni momenti sono molto crudi e reali; tengono incollati allo schermo in maniera assoluta. Probabilmente, la sequenza di lotta finale, è proprio la parte leggermente meno interessante ed originale.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Online A Exceptional with a fantastic pace. Brutal, not for the squeamish, but very well made. If you like Se7en you may be inclined to also like The Chaser. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/23 Full Review M7AMD A It was a great watch, but I had some issues with this movie, although it still left me with some great impressions. There were so many scenes that were exaggerated a bit though i would say some of them were funny, and some plot holes like for example why would you go to different places looking for his house when he and the girl he was with stopped at the exact location the detective was at!! It makes more sense that the search would have been where the girl's car was found, another stupid plot was when the girl escaped why would she run into the convenience store not calling out for neighbors to help her or people walking in the streets and even when she had the opportunity to call someone she chose to call her pimp and not the police!!! Lol i understand it makes for great tense and drama but come on so many movies did that and it still pisses me off. I do like the twist at the end though, and i would recommend watching it, if someone never watched any Korean movies I'm sure he will probably enjoy it more than I did. 7/10 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review Wendell B This movie was like most of Korean films very suspenseful. I often found myself yelling at the TV for the police to do something different. Very good movie I didn't like the ending but I still think this is a must watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/23 Full Review william d Excellent crime drama with some real edge of your seat suspense and action. I'd give it a full five stars if it weren't for two things: one character is badly injured without any explanation and while I admit I don't know anything about Korean criminal procedure, something happens here that I don't think would happen even in the due process obsessed United States. Don't let that deter you, check this one out. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
