    Higly inventive film. Improbable plot, but well-acted with suspense that draws the viewer into its web.

    Every American should see this movie about the price of torturing and killing your enemies in order to save the planet. Touching, passionate, and completely different.

    Terrible. We almost walked out. 2 hours of watching someone get tortured. Not much humour.

    Bizarre. Definitely different - it had me laughing out loud in parts But it has heavy moments, not for the faint of heart. Definitely see it if you can, if only because you don't often see a film so strange yet coherent.

    one more amazing Korean film, touching on all sorts of ideas, brilliantly organized, both visually, aurally and thematically. the director is focused on his love for genre, pathos, every movie he has ever seen, and an obsessive yen for Kubrick. While we will see amazing homages to 2001, we are taken back to Killer's Kiss, all sorts of wild sci fi films, the wizard of oz, and it's mixed together with a speed freak anti-hero whose obsession for the truth will pull the audience through a world that makes Saw look like a 50's Donna Reed sit com. I can't wait to see what jang joon-hawn has on the griddle for his second film.… Expand

    May look like an ironic, jet black comedy -- and it succeeds brilliantly on that level -- but in it's sad and wistful heart, it's a completely sincere call for saving the Earth.

    Though certainly not to everyone's tastes, this looney-tunes pic about a deranged serial killer who thinks he's helping Earth by killing off supposed aliens works on a variety of levels, from gruesome slapstick comedy through social critique to genuinely chilling Grand Guignol.

    Mad conspiracy rules in Korean writer-director Jang Jun-hwan's snazzy, playful, some-what gory, often hilarious, and generally unpredictable first feature.
