Ya gotta love Korean vengeance flicks. Koreans seem obsessed with it. Probably the most violent place on earth since Elizabethan England. (Cf. Shakespeare et alii.)


You definitely want to see this one. Wikipedia states that this was the highest grossing film in Korea in 2010, and I believe it. A Lee-Child-style hero -- a mysterious stranger who has fallen from grace -- and a script that shamelessly checks every box. Plus a heroically-cute 2nd-grade orphan-girl, both spirited and brave, is placed in dire peril! Mandatory viewing for genre movie fans.
