Not bad! Reminded me some Korean movies on that same subject: Twisted revenge. I don't say this movie is as good as what Koreans have made but it is quite original in the way the story is told, smartly told indeed., sometime shocking. I still have the feeling that it was missing something to make this Chinese thriller an awesome movie. Anyway definitely worth a watch as it is different from other Chinese movies I have seen so far.

Overwrought, drenched in blood and ultimately illogical - but hey, this is "extreme" Asian cinema so anything more refined would have been surprising. A film that, funnily enough; explores the limits of revenge and the sometimes strange nature of love, in between bouts of graphic violence. Probably one to avoid if you are pregnant. Definitely one to avoid if you dislike gore or, heaven forbid; don't like to read those dreaded subtitles. Although why anyone in the latter two categories would even bother to rent a Korean film about grisly revenge in the first place is one of the enduring mysteries of Quickflix. All in all, worth a watch if Asian cinema is your thing.
