Member venom10463 Posted January 9, 2011 Member Share Posted January 9, 2011 Have you gotten the chance to see I Saw the Devil? I've been hearing nothing but good things about it and after watching the trailer... you can see why. The Korean DVD & Blu-ray is due out soon.[bBvideo 620,385] [/bBvideo] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kaleyboy Posted January 10, 2011 Member Share Posted January 10, 2011 Have you gotten the chance to see I Saw the Devil? I've been hearing nothing but good things about it and after watching the trailer... you can see why. The Korean DVD & Blu-ray is due out soon. Yes, I've seen it and it is an excellent film. The director has really pushed the boundaries of Korean cinema with this, and the two leads excell in their roles of hunter/prey. But be warned, you need a strong stomach to watch some of the scenes. I gotta be honest, a few times I felt like looking away, and I've been violent movies since before I was a teenager (I'm now 34). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Nippon Senshi Posted January 18, 2011 Member Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have just recently been introduced to modern Korean cinema and I am now a huge fan. My Top 5 (in no particular order. except for #1) 1. Oldboy (2003) 2. A Bittersweet Life (2005) 3. I Saw the Devil (2010) 4. Joint Security Area (2000) 5. Tell Me Something (1999) Honorable mentions: The Man From Nowhere (2010) The Housemaid (2010) Shiri (1999) Memories of Murder (2003) City of Violence (2006) The best action/espionage Korean drama series I have seen is IRIS. The story might not be that original but the presentation is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
