Review of The Chaser

The Chaser (2008)
9/10
Some people just can't handle this movie
25 December 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Saw this movie when it first came out, just recently watched I saw the devil and Mother, thought I'd come on IMDb and see what people have to say about those two movies when this movie came back to my mind. I just finished reading all the previous user "reviews", and I have to say that some of the comments posted here are just laughable, some people just don't know how to deal with this film. If you saw the movie and became enraged by the level of "stupidity" and "nonsense" in the plot - especially the ending, and if you are also thoroughly disgusted by the the unnecessary violence, so much so that you feel like this is just another wannabe noir movie that is just all gore and no substance, please sit back, take a deep breath and ask yourself, when was the last time you were this emotionally engaged??sure white chicks was bad but you didn't despise it so much you had to log on IMDb and warn other people about it right? the truth is however empty the plot was, the final delivery was thought provoking: the good doesn't win, there is no happy ending. You are presented with a couple one dimensional characters, that, unlike fincher's characters, are not exactly full of personalities, and while in-depth character development may give fincher movies that extra layer of sensitivity, the lack of it actually adds to realism, which in the chaser's case, made the tragic ending even more spectacular. anyways the point is maybe you don't have to be entertained all the time, if you reacted to it, maybe the movie may have just done something right.
