      Audience Reviews for Memories of Murder

      • Mar 07, 2015
        Bong Joon-ho uses a real Korean serial killer story as the basis for this always absorbing, terribly ironic and tragically hilarious crime drama that is both an intelligent social satire and a sharp political commentary, and he never ceases to surprise us until the very last shot.

        A murder chronicle that engulfs you into its own mystique. A richly layered film with great cinematic devices, satirical and distant at first, desperate, elusive and suspenseful by the end.

        One of the best murder mystery films of all time! Based on a true story and an absolute must see!

        Amidst civil war, an under-manned, under-funded, and unprepared police department are faced with a serial killer. Mindblowing!
