**This is from the top 101 Korean movie list. This is my 3rd movie from the list. 3 down, 98 to go!
My review: There was a ton of violence and cursing in this movie. It was a good movie though. It is very intense. There were moments when I wanted to cover my eyes because I thought I know what would come next. It makes you feel sorry for the man knowing his past, but also you think he is a cruel person for all the things he does to others.
