Awful Movie

Do not listen to this dumb guy named bkw, watch this movie, it rocks

I kind of agree w/ him. I dont think this film was a total ripoff of those films because it did have something different to offer. I thought the hypnosis thing was a nice addition. This is not saying this movie is spectacular and blustering w/ groundbreaking orinality. In addition, I also could not stand the horrible acting and poor script. This film is average entertainment at best.

I liked it. I gave it a 7/10.

I was pretty disappointed as well. It borrowed liberally from Seven, Silence of the Lambs, Basic Instinct... even Memento.

On top of that, the pacing was a disaster. Scenes that should've been fast and quick instead dragged on and on, and scenes that should've been slow and suspenseful were so cliched they came off boring.

All of the characters were one dimensional and ridiculous. Are we supposed to care for an overly emotional cop who leans on his horn and drives into oncoming traffic when he gets impatient? Or a colder-than-frost ice queen who spends a full minute cooly lighting and dragging on a cigarette every time she wants to show emotional depth?

I definitely blame the director on this one, but the film is a flat-out snooze fest. Predictable, dull, melodramatic and dumb.

The shame of it is that it was really well shot. The sets and locations were beautifully dressed and photographed (except for perhaps the prison interview room, which looked like a bad tv set) and you can't deny the film has style.

Too bad the style was completely overbearing, but how could it not be when everything else in the picture falls flat?

I gave it 3/10... it would've possibly been a 4 had it not been for that horrible, awful ending.

A lot of strange things happen in this world. Things you don't know about in Grand Rapids.

Yeah I agree. I usually never watch movies that someone hasn't recommended, or the ones that I haven't checked on imdb/etc .. but not this time.

Back then I had randomly picked "memories of murder", and it was really good. The next time I picked "H" from the same spot, and boy was it a mistake. I guess I should've been suspicious when the tagline read "intelligent thriller", and the back cover compared it to se7en and silence of the lambs.

So I had to stop watching. It was too boring .. too silly. The guy in the prison cell was the last straw, going on and on about "black wells of his soul" and similiar nonsense.

I'm a big fan of Korean film, as well, and I agree. Though I don't think it was a rip-off of other films, I do think that the promising beginning starts to unravel about midway through and by the last quarter of the film, they're just pulling it out of their a**es as they go. Major plot elements are unexplained, leaving the viewer to fill in the blanks without any association to anything that has happened before it. I'm a clever boy, I got it; but there's a big difference in challenging the audience to follow a complex plot and making them do all the heavy lifting themselves while the main characters just run around doing what-have-you for no good reason. It was either lazy, or just lacked the ability to reach its ambition.

Yes, no good at all.

I have seen a lot of korean movies and this was the worst. could have been a lot better. The main girl was horribly blank,no acting skills.
