The best of the Vengeance Trilogy IMHO. The cinematography is gorgeous, the acting superb and the plot is excellent. The story reminded me a lot of the Coen Brothers.

Amazing cinematography, brilliant concept, captivating acting, but at times a bit slow. The first 30 minutes are genius at work.

Not as good as Oldboy but still an incredible film.

Some of the scenes I found very disturbing.

I liked the cinematography. The extreme violence next to the silent and peaceful parts really worked for me, it even reminded me of some of Kitano's work at times. Though the end seemed a bit like a mess to me, especially the message it leaves you with is unsatisfactory.

I can't believe this is not in any top list.. Not as good as Oldboy but still a pretty awesome (and well-shot) movie by Chan-Wook Park

The first of Park Chan-wook's "vengeance trilogy", Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance doesn't really have just ONE Mr. Vengeance. A lot of people are owed blood and a number of them get it. And yes, they're all sympathetic. A deaf man is desperate to get his ailing sister a kidney, trusts the wrong people and sends the situation into a downward spiral of tragic and bloody errors - some of them foreshadowing the subject matter of the later Lady Vengeance - taking other people down with him. And he didn't mean for any of it to happen. By the time he sets his course on revenge, that revenge is twinned with another's, and it's call going to come to a very bleak end indeed. Director Park has a dark sense of humor, yes, but he's also quite dark as a dramatist, and I don't know what's more shocking, that he goes the places he does, or that he somehow manages to make it feel beautiful and poetic. As with his other films, every shot - EVERY shot - generates interest. There's no bad frame in a Park Chan-wook movie.

Yes, it's captivating despite its slow pace because it's very different - it has a meditative feel to it, especially if you are in the right mood - you can be hypnotized by the dream-like style. Can be considered the best in Vengeance trilogy which i find hard to genuinely like.

Freaking brutal, and awesome. Easily as good as Oldboy. Two of my all time favourite films.

Very creative, well done film, but unfortunately if you watch Oldboy first then everything is going to be downhill from there. Don't make the same mistake I did! I recommend watching this one first.
