It's anchored by two fantastic performances. Seeing these two men go head-to-head psychologically and physically is enthralling.

There's no shortage of Korean revenge-thrillers, but this, along with the recent The Man from Nowhere, proves there is plenty of life left in the genre.

A remorseless catalogue of calculated violence, casual cannibalism and sexual sadism, this inflicts over two hours of suffering on the audience...

There is no denying that Kim Jee-woon is a phenomenal director, wrenching visceral thrills, dark humour and even occasionally an element of surprise, from all his stock set-pieces.

This gleefully black horror-thriller is a very classy follow-up to The Good, the Bad, the Weird for Kim Jee-Woon.

This is the stuff of nightmares, where even the good guy is bad, and as shock cinema goes, it packs a punch.

Dec 29, 2016"Don't act so weak... this is just the beginning. Remember... your nightmare's only getting worse!" original in its conveyance of revenge. wheras all previous of the genre have tended towards an action theme eventually concluding with the act of revenge, i saw the devil is the act of revenge throughout. min-sik choi plays the bastard so well and byung-hun lee plays the avenging stalker astutely. jee-woon kim adds another quality feature to his already astonishing catalogue.Sanity Assassin !

Oct 21, 2013The extremely graphic nature of this otherwise generic action/revenge thriller, is definitely not for the squeamish. Although sadistic, repulsive and pointless in its subject matter, the approach is strangely stylish and engaging throughout. Not a pleasant experience, but intense and hard to forget.Pierluigi P Super Reviewer

Jan 28, 2013Once the credits start rolling, and you reflect on the film you've just seen, it will be hard to find flaws in 'I Saw the Devil.' Ji-woon Kim's direction is top notch, and he keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat the entire film. Min-sik Choi's's acting is incredible, and Byung-hun Lee is no slouch himself. Quite simply, this film is amazing. Grade: B+Sunny D Super Reviewer

Jan 10, 2013A bold and electrifying new breed of revenge film. A shockingly violent and stunningly well made piece of work that`s truly unforgettable and mind-blowing. A bloody, stylish, gripping and absolutely terrifying movie that`s a memorable step forward in the genre. A bone-chilling and heart-pounding adrenaline-charged edge of your seat thriller. A frightening masterpiece that is truly a must-see. Director, Ji-woon Kim crafts one of his most accomplished and brilliant films so far. Revenge films don't get more shocking or exhilarating than this. It`s the real deal. Byung-hun Lee and Min-sik Choi are absolutely sensational. Choi is sadistically brilliant. Lee is magnificent. A spectacular showdown of a cat and mouse game. An intense and powerful thrill-ride that leads you a gut-rotting and breathtaking finish.Al S Super Reviewer
