So I felt the need to rewatch it again, and considering how amazing and intense this film is, it was no trouble at all. I'm going to go ahead and say this is my favorite revenge film ever. Chan Wook Park tops himself yet again with the third installment of the vengeance trilogy.

A woman is released from prison after 13 years for being convicted of killing and kidnapping a 5 year old boy. We soon realize that her attitude of enlightenment and her new religion that were apparent before her release was all just a ruse. She has much more violent and malicious plans all leading up to her killing the man who is truly responsible for the boys…

I'm a Chan-Wook fan, I loved both "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" and "Oldboy". This is probably the worst in the Vengeance Trilogy but is still a beautifully crafted film. A woman imprisoned for 13 years for the kidnapping and murder of a young boy seeks revenge on the man who was really responsible for the boys death.

I'll start with the negatives. The story is easily the least compelling, it borrows aspects and actors from the previous two films and doesn't do anything new. I found it to be dull in parts and even felt dragging at times which the other two didn't. The last thing a gritty revenge "thriller " should be is cheezy and towards the end I…

The last in Chan-wook Park's revenge trilogy akes more towards Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance than to Oldboy by being significantly less nasty, but keeping the same striking visual style of the two previous films. Lady Vengeance features, as the title suggests, a female protagonist seeking revenge on a man who ruined her life and got her incarcerated for thirteen years. Her case became widely known due to her tender age of 19 and angelic appearance. Deep down however, she is convinced to be devoid of heart and kindness, which ironically everyone perceives her to have. After enduring prison time she realizes her plan of revenge, which she had been working on all this time.

Lady Vengeance is just as beautiful…

Geum-ja (Yeong-ae Lee) admitted to the murder of a young boy after the real killer (Min-sik Choi) threatened to kill her baby if she refused. After serving a long sentence during which she makes many friends among the inmates with her kind-hearted nature, she emerges with a thirst for vengeance on the true murderer.

Director / co-writer Chan-wook Park has crafted an exhilarating, shocking conclusion to his Vengeance trilogy. This time, the severing of parent-child bonds inspires the mayhem, and perhaps that is the most powerful motivation of all. The richly deserving target is a serial killer of young children. If you have young kids yourself, it may be difficult for you to watch a scene in which some of…

When I first saw this film I honestly didn't think it was as good as the previous two, but re-watching it again I really do like them all pretty much equally. I'm still not quite too sure whether the disjointed structure of it helps the film in any way, but at the same time I don't feel as though it hurts it like I once did either. But perhaps that's due to knowing what was going to happen already (although not in any detail as I hadn't seen it since it first came out).

I'm still somewhat tempted to watch the 'fade to black and white' version, but the cinematography is so brilliant in it that I feel as though…

I have to admit that I almost turned this film off after the scene with the dog, but I decided to plod on, and I'm glad I did. For the first hour or so, I couldn't make heads or tails of this film, but by the time of the big payoff scene with the families, it all came together wonderfully. It's a very imaginative film which at times had me thinking of Amélie meets Lady Snowblood. Park uses a lot of creative images to keep his story moving forward, and although the exposition in the first hour can be a bit daunting, he ties in all the loose threads in one of the most disturbing scenes of parental agony and…
