Review of No Mercy (2010) by Dániel A — 30 Dec 2012
The Chaser, I Saw The Devil, Oldboy, Memory of Murder, Mother, etc. Korean cinema has gotten very good with this whole suspense/thriller/crime genre. The acting, the direction, plot and story telling are all of excellence.
You'll certainly be reminded of Se7en as many has pointed out but this is not to say it lacks originality. It can totally stand solidly on its own due to the aforementioned elements. The ending totally makes this film and it stays with you and it makes you think.
Life is not fair but sometimes it deals a dire hand and though you play your best with the cards you were dealt, things just don't work out. You have to make tough decisions but in some circumstances what justifies right or wrong, bad or good is beyond the realm of mere morality and justice.
It's all about perspective sometimes. A good film.
