While I love Oldboy and LOVE Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, to arrive at the closing chapter of Chan-Wook Park’s revenge tragedy and find that I could watch the whole thing without squinting with discomfort was a pleasant surprise indeed. Just as stylish and beautiful (if a trifle more frenetic) as the preceding chapters, Lady Vengeance gets points for closing with a decidedly more optimistic outlook than its sister films. Not nearly as violent but twice as charming and off-kilter; with a bunch of cute girls that you can sympathize with getting revenge that never loses its sweetness. Finally a movie where the revenge is both Rube Goldbergian in its complexity and so beautifully satisfying that lets you hang onto your good feelings while bombarding you with gorgeously violent images
