Not at all confusing, honestly. i have seen it several times and wrote a paper on it, and had no problem with it in my first viewing. if you have seen his other movies, the themes (isolation, loneliness, technology, media, revenge, futility) are all the same and still relevant. the third act is as gruesome as it is moving. stunning use of mood and color. the female lead and her situation adds a new wrinkle to the trilogy and makes it unique in comparison to the other, too. see it!!… Expand

The first hour is extremely disjointed and hard to follow, and I almost turned it off. Thankfully, I hung in there, the movie became more linear, and it was magnificent! Very interesting, creative, and visually stylish.

An overlook on the concept of vengeance, seen as both sin and act of justice. The contrapposition in Guan-Ju between her research for purity and her desire for vengeance is deep and well rapresented by the character, even if the second one is clearly dominating. I didn't see the first two chapters of the trilogy, but I liked this one anyway. A good movie, still not over a 7,5 vote.

Incredibly powerful and intensley emotional storytelling. Pefect in a very dark, disturbing way that all drama should strive to be.

A little slower than oldboy but a great finish to his triliogy. movie takes its time to gather its forces and then get in its flow. didnt like the flashback style and first but then expecting it made it very stylistic tack on the themes of a modern man and this movie hits all the right emotional highs. in the end i thought the style represents shards of humanity in a disjointed way. some very impressive scenes with great music that stick to you after the movie.… Expand

The movie drags its feet with an inevitable, merciless, and drawn out revenge. Much more complex in its exploration of revenge and its consequences than Oldboy, but a much less interesting plot. Geum-jah's brilliant plot for revenge is a Count of Monte Cristo wanna-be that feels hollow, underdeveloped, and under-explained. Less shock, less plot, but more emotionally moving than Oldboy. Its an exhausting and disturbing movie, that's worth a look, but Park could have paced this movie a lot better and kept it from sputtering to its clumsy, unresolved end.… Expand

An extremely confusing and disjointed film. Twenty minutes into it I was looking at the time. Park should have steered clear of doing a flashback style movie. He flounders.
