you found this film to be brilliant?

amazing

[durden85]

yup =)

[weazel2222]

Okay now this review has me wanting to see this.

After seeing your Oldboy review I went and watched that, it instantly became one of my favourite movies of all time, guess I will have to check this one out.

Keep up the reviews.

[durden85]

thanks! Glad to hear you loved OLDBOY like I do!

Is the movie in subtitles?

[durden85]

yes, it is. It's in Korean with English subs...totally worth the reading though.

[MsMiness]

I love Ha-kyun Shin so much, I'll probably give this a shot just for him, though he's not the main lead.

[zmoore83]

Wow, I literally agree with everything you just said. I thought the same thing about the ending.

[clashrogers]

All i can say is that Thirst is 100x better than Twilight.

i thought at first its going to bore because of reading negative feedback but.....omg...im not expecting such awesomeness but it delivers like oldboy

[martyrofevil]

Park Chan-wook has to be the best director working at the very least from a technical view point. He's only person who can make every shot through the entire film amazing. I was a little bit worried about this one but it was Park Chan-wook so I had nothing to worry about and wow this film delivered. There were times when I had to take myself out of the movie just to wrap my head around the brilliance I was seeing. I'd actually put this on par with Oldboy.

Wow, I really need to check out this film. I love Park Chan Wook's work, and Oldboy truly is not only one of his best films if not his best, but one of the best films ever made.

I know what you're talking about when you leave a movie theatre and you KNOW it was a good movie, but you can't really grasp how good it was just yet until after a few thoughts. Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds are 2 films that come in mind that did that to me. Any film that can evoke that feeling is a great one.

I'll see this whenever it decides to come to where I live.

Oldboy is one of my favorites as well. But I found that Mr. Vengeance sticks with me longer. I think it is the superior film.

I really want to watch this movie as well...love almost all of park chan wook films :)
