Our take

We no longer look towards America for great genre films, but to South Korea, where directors like Bong Joon Ho and Park Chan-wook have been turning conventions on their heads. Kim Jee-woon (A Tale of Two Sisters, A Bittersweet Life) is one of the best there and this is his most wild, fun movie.
