Kim is an iconoclast and his willingness to expose his own country's brutal police-state measures may take some courage, but a good deal more needs to be said...

Controversial filmmaker Kim Ki-Duk delivers his most traditional film to date, but one with edge to spare.

"The Net" had all the potential to become a masterpiece, with the script, acting, and cinematography being on a very high level. However, some issues with the editing that make the film last for too long and Kim's recently found restrain prevent it.

Kim Ki-duk succeeds in offering a more complex perspective on a political situation that is all too often joked about in the West.

An interesting development in Ki-Duk's career. He's no longer using violence or sexuality to shock or to traumatize viewers as he did with Pieta and Moebius.

A heartbreaking drama of a man trapped between the decades long feud between the two states, one that robs people of their morals and humanity in an ongoing struggle for superiority over their divided countrymen.
