Review of I Saw the Devil (2010) by Paul W — 25 Aug 2011
I posted two comments to Facebook, one during the movie and one after. First comment: âWatching Korean crime flick, I Saw the Devil. Damn this is hard core. Drove my wife right out of the room.â? Second comment: âMakes the dude from Texas Chainsaw Massacre look like a little girl at her first Sparkle Pony party.
â? Seriously, this film about a serial killer cannibal and his relentless undercover secret agent cop nemesis is so violent and depraved it almost deserves an X rating. I Saw the Devil is pure revenge porn.
Like other Korean films I've seen, itâ(TM)s extremely good ... but damn, it is violent and bloody. Some will find art in it, much as Americans fell head over heels for the violent movies of Sam Peckinpah back in the day.
As good as it is, it is a disturbing, evil movie, far more so than other Korean films Iâ(TM)ve enjoyed.
