Even if I get that he wanted to harass the killer by releasing him repeatedly, was he really that brain dead that he didn't realize he would kill other people. Why not maim him more than and make him more harmless to innocent people?
He didn't care. All he could think about was revenge. Is that really so hard to grasp? Anger makes you act recklessly.
How retarded have you be to not figure out he'll be coming after your family if he figured out who you are? He seriously had to waste that time and drive to the hospital to question the cannibal?
Why would he just assume that? As far as he knows, this guy is just trying to get away.
How many serial killers are there in South Korea? Seems like you have a 50/50 chance everytime you meet a person.
Yeah, five or six people is really a 50/50 chance
How the hell could a cannibal be killing people for years without anybody noticing? It wasn't either like he only eat human meat at special occasion, he went through his victims pretty fast in the movie. Same thing with the main killer, how on earth wasn't he caught earlier when he was as sloppy as he was. He didn't even move around, but stayed at the same place.
I don't know, try asking real life serial killers who have gotten away with their crimes for roughly that long under similar circumstances.
South Korean Secret Agents don't have access to guns. I get that he didn't want to kill him, but not bringing a gun for even backup was just stupid.
Not the most logical move on his part, but considering his state of mind, I don't expect him to be perfect.
The ending when he picked up the killer with the car, what the hell was that? Wasn't even remotely plausible.
So you've never seen a crime thriller or action movie before in your life.
Even if he managed to do such an incredible trick without the killer jumping out of the way, what stopped the killer from stabbing him to death?
First off, the killer wasn't exactly in prime condition for jumping.
Secondly, it's been proven throughout the film the killer is vastly inferior to the agent in fighting, and he was face down, probably got knocked out with a few good elbows to the back of the head.
If this movie was American and not Korean, the ratings would have been way lower.
Oh yeah, that's why there are Korean films I don't like, cause I love them simply for national origins
I was immensely disappointed in this movie. It's just more or less a torture porn movie with a bad script.
Torture porn?Were you just umping at the chance to whip that gem of a label out?
Here's a hint: if you don't like brutal, stylized revenge thrillers, don't watch brutal, stylized revenge thrillers.

Well, you conveniently forgot to answer the point about a suspected serial killer being allowed to drive a school van for teenagers...
Also:
- What happened to the police who stormed in the school looking for the killer? Did they go "Oh, too bad we missed the suspect, forget it, let's just go home and stare at doorknobs!" without trying to locate him/his house? (someone must have known him since he was the school van driver)
- what happened to the police that wanted to stop Kim Soo-hyeon vengeance? Couldn't have they asked the old chief his phone number? or tracked his cell phone/location? or stopped him at the hospital with the suspect instead of letting Soo-hyeon take the guy out to resume the chase from the railway tunnel?
- Since the killer leaving the railway tunnel (in the middle of nowhere) almost immediately reveals he knows about the tracking-pill, how far was Soo-hyeon with his superfastSUV not to be able to reach the guy before he could limp-walk to the first chemist's?
- The cannibal's watchdogs seemed to be pretty blood thirsty and easy to get alarmed, how could Soo-hyeon enter the house unnoticed?
- What's the point of having police at all in Korea if a serial killer can stop his car in the middle of the road in front of dozens of cops, come out with a butcher knife and stand around for a few minutes without being surrounded or taken down within seconds? Did they think he was holding a toy knife and being covered with tomato sauce? Could nobody follow the car leaving? The guy had killed several girls, including an ex-police chief and his daughters, wouldn't you get a police car or two (if not an helicopter) ready just in case he decides not to turn himself in easily?
- After the killer mutilated and killed the old chief and his daughter, mocked his hunter and almost got away with it (Soo-hyeon impossibly manages to drag a psycho in the car, disarm him and tie him while driving), all Soo-hyeon could do to top this lenghty (140min) supposedly mad quest for hellish revenge is...stick a screwdriver in a cheek, cry in front of him, and let someone else chop his head (btw the killer himself could have done that quickly, since he said he was ready to die asap). What a glorious revenge.
P.S.: Those who say the whole idea is so unheard-of must have continuously blinked for years and missed all the vigilantes/cops-getting-their-family-killed-and-going-for-personal-vendetta movies that have been produced since the 60s. Check those with "Revenge" in the title first, but don't be too surprised when you'll find plots way more original than ISTD's.

There could have been traffic around even with a fast SUV, You can't get through 2-way traffic with any speed car you own.
'The cannibal's watchdogs seemed to be pretty blood thirsty and easy to get alarmed, how could Soo-hyeon enter the house unnoticed? '
I think Soo-hyeon's skills could have helped him get passed the dogs unnoticed, I'm sure he could have been stealth.

The police i'm sure were shocked that it was actually him, They knew he was dangerous and could have hurt them, They did not know what to do at that moment.
'After the killer mutilated and killed the old chief and his daughter, mocked his hunter and almost got away with it (Soo-hyeon impossibly manages to drag a psycho in the car, disarm him and tie him while driving), all Soo-hyeon could do to top this lenghty (140min) supposedly mad quest for hellish revenge is...stick a screwdriver in a cheek, cry in front of him, and let someone else chop his head (btw the killer himself could have done that quickly, since he said he was ready to die asap)'
First off, Soo-hyeon could have pulled to some side-road or wherever get him out of the car and tie him up, The cops were not following him for some reason so he could have done that. I'm sure the killer dropped his weapon while getting dragged into the car as rough as that. And who knows what else Soo-hyeon did to the killer off camera in that room, then just cut his cheek.
That answers most your questions, It's still a flawed film, but it is thrlling while your watching it and made me remember why i love film making.
And i don't what films you like,(probably some love drama) but this film has qualities in it that makes it a great film.
