I Saw the Devil
An unflinching gaze into the heart of pure evil and a perverse genre entertainment par excellence, Kim Jee-woon's I Saw the Devil takes the serial-killer thriller as far into the realm of pulse-pounding mayhem as it has ever gone. (...) Kim follows Kyung-chul's actions so closely (...) that we catch ourselves feeling some shade of identification with, if not sympathy for, the devil.
Rob Nelson, Variety
A serial killer's latest victim turns out to be the wife of a highly-trained government secret agent who turns the tables on the murderer, relentlessly pursuing him to ensure that he experiences the same terror he instilled in his victims. But the roles of cat and mouse keep switching, the evil at play so pervasive and corrosive that even those on the periphery of the agent's quest for vengeance have their lives drastically changed or ended. Utterly compelling and adroitly told.
