    It's the best Korean movie I have even seen. The gun fights and the music are fantastic. I am blown away by the romance part at the end, which I can't stop my tears. It's a both exciting and touching movie.

    This is an amazing action movie! Even American audiences will be blown away by its amazing gun fights and awesome acting. I didn't know what was going to happen by the end.

    Shiri was better than I expected, this film was probably the best foreign film that I have seen, even one of the best action films I have seen.

    I was blown away by this movie. I have 1 complait that is whenever there were scenes of action the camera got a bit too shaky, even though it looked good. A complicated story and constant action scenes are nicely blended in. The movie is extremely violent, but if you can take it, then rent it!!!

    This was one of my favorite movies I ever saw...period. This movie came out around when Titanic came out, ie before 9/11. So it's not their fault that they have a scene like that. It only makes sense. And while Titanic's romantic tragedy was about this lowlife who shouldn't have even ended up on the ship stealing a man's wife and then dying (people should be applauding), Shiri's was just tear-jerking like none other. An excellent mix of action (quite a fan of war movies myself) as well as suspense and romance. A+… Expand

    Compelling, kinetic, fast and furious.

    In recent years, South Korean cinema has fully flowered, producing both uncompromising highly personal films and crisp, intelligent genre movies, with Shiri the most spectacular example of the latter to date.

    The action looks impressive, even when nothing much is happening beyond local explosions or shattering glass, and the drama turns, affectingly, on a mysterious female sniper with a partitioned soul.
