In the third film in his vengeance trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance & Old Boy), director Chan-Wook Park can't top his masterpiece "Old Boy." This time around it's a female protagonist who seeks revenge from a devious monster who puts her in jail for a crime she didn't commit and kidnaps her daughter. Geum-ja played marvelously by Yeong-ae Lee has to wait 13 years to take revenge and find her daughter. The film has all the trademarks of his previous work including the stylish visuals, impeccable acting and original story telling. However the film appears to fall short because of the high expectations that you would expect from him. The film will please the fans and those who will discover it for the first time.
