"Savage yet spellbinding" | ||||
"Perhaps with an open and willing mind, you'll also see the vast difference between this wily consciousness experiment and, say, Rob Zombie's new box of schlocks" | ||||
"When it comes to serving up diabolical horror with bold, sophisticated glee, Park, best known for "Oldboy," is right up there with Dario Argento, Guillermo del Toro and Takashi Miike" | ||||
"This ultra-violent revenge thriller is far more notable for its baroque excesses than coherence or credibility" | ||||
"There is so much talent on display in Park Chanwook's Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, it is a drag that the film never rises to the level of its director's obvious ability" | ||||
"So badly told that it ends up dissecting a corruption that exudes from nowhere but itself" |
