I Saw the Devil

Korean director Kim Jee-woon delivered a bloody masterpiece with this disturbing thriller that explores the dark side of revenge. After his wife is killed by a serial killer, a special agent blurs the line between good and evil to find him at the cost of losing his humanity. Perhaps one of the most violent films ever but Jee-woon and his talented cast and crew go beyond the genre conventions to explore the nature of evil in this dark odyssey. Choi Min-sik (Oldboy) and Lee Byung-hun (The Good, the Bad, the Weird) star with terrific performances that makes this thriller a riveting experience. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
