If you want to watch a movie that will make you sit right up in your chair, with your eyeballs popping out of your head in disbelief and general horror, while your stomach queases over with disgust at the inconceivable images of brutality and the actor from Old Boy loses all the dubious sympathy he had gained... man, this is the flick for you. It's called I Saw The Devil and it is NOT messing around. I don't so much recommend it as warn you about it. I'm glad I saw it, but it is most definitely not for everyone.
It is as if the writer and director watched a series of revenge movies, Straw Dogs, Death Wish, anything else with Charles Bronson, and they said, "That's pretty good, but not revengey enough. Needs more brutal revenge and more brutality to the victims." They took the revenge genre adn turned it up to 11. It's impressive, but not something to watch if you want to sleep easily.
In true Bluth style, though: That's why you always kill the serial killer when you first catch him.
