Featured review
Not sure about this one
Strange film, definitely not Park Chan-wook's best. I enjoyed parts of it, but lots didn't make much sense. Tonally it's all over the place. In parts it's slapstick, action, romantic, and noirish. Some of the cuts between scenes are very, very jarring. I don't necessarily mind that, David Lynch and Bong Joon-ho do it very well. However, I'm not sure Park Chan-wook has mastered it. Bizarre zoom ins, POV shots, and character's recreating crimes in their mind and being shown in the action. I don't really believe the romance/obsession angle. It's left me very puzzled. I'd watch it again though. It's got something.
