The director of Korea's 2000 smash hit, JOINT SECURITY AREA, returns with that film's stars, Song Kang-Ho and Shin Ha-Kyun, to participate in the bleak and bloody birth of one of the greatest hardboiled epics ever made. Deaf-mute factory worker, Ryu, is hunting for a donor kidney for his sister. But when the organ slated for her turns out to be the wrong blood type he begins a long walk down a dark tunnel and the light at the end is an oncoming train. Director Park has
hung the world up by its heels and let all the forgiveness run out through
a slit in its neck. What happens when there's no more sorry? When there's
no more starting over? What happens when there's only killing, and revenge
and blood paying back blood? A nearly-silent, almost unbearable dissection
of what we can do to each other out of love, this is the movie Film
Comment calls "a remarkable masterpiece" and Harry Knowles
of Ain't It Cool News picks as the best of 2002. By the time
you stumble out of the theater, every frame will be seared into your
brain. >
