Powerful
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
A bit less than a year ago a serial killer turned himself in. He had targeted mostly pregnant women and the police had no clue as to his whereabouts. But now he's in custody. The only problem being that a copycat killer has emerged. So detectives Kim (Yum Jung-ah) and Kang (Ji Jin-hee) are put on the case.Korean films don't seem to believe in happy mediums. Either they're full-out acid trips of surrealism, or they're the greyest, most depressing dramafests you've ever seen. H falls into latter category. Granted, the actual killings are horrifically brutal and graphic in a way you just don't see in mainstream Western cinema, but aside from that the film is almost banal.When it's not blatantly ripping off The Silence of the Lambs, that is. I mean, you have psychotic madball killer in prison, who's interrogated to help catch another criminal, while at the same time he's analyzing his interrogators. Subtle this movie is not. Throw in some Se7en as well for the events of the final third and you have yourself an unoriginal movie.Though, it is shot nicely, the characters can be interesting and the gore is sure to be pleasing to those that gravitate towards that kind of thing. Not a complete loss, but not worth recommending either.
The fact of the matter is this. Just because a film is released under the Tartan Asia Extreme banner, that's no guarantee that it'll be "extreme," or even particularly good. Mind you, I've seen far worse films than H. It's better than America's similarly themed "Copycat," for instance. Then again, what isn't? H is a decent nod to superior serial killer films (Manhunter/Red Dragon, Se7en, to name a couple), but is essentially just a popcorn film. I usually take a chance on anything that flies the Tartan Asia Extreme banner, and I don't regret seeing this film, it's just that it needs to be said that not all films made in Asia are masterpieces.
I could go on about the slow pace, bad acting, moodiness, implausibility, contrived and generally ridiculous plot line but suffice to say that I wish it was me getting a bullet in my head at the end of the movie.The movie was dreadful. I'd recommend almost any other Korean movie over this. The sheer number of times I found myself scoffing at the actions of the characters, the plot "twists" or the character "dialogue" were too numerous to count.Any deeper reading about the supposed message of the movie only serves to obscure the fact that this was one horrible flick.The only positive comment I can make (as someone on the message boards noted) was some of the very interesting artwork; I quite liked it.
HI am a huge fan of the Korean serial killer drama Tell me something. So when the review on the box of this movie said `tell me something esque' I thought I would give it a shot. My history with Korean films are hit or miss. This is a miss. I will say this the plot twist is something you would never see in American film. Of course you would also never see it in reality either.The film is paced so boring. Maybe the moody feeling just doesn't translate but I think the film was going for the SEVEN moody feeling. The camera work was somewhat interesting. The gore was there. The acting was so so. In the end I kinda had to force myself to finish it.I would say if you have a choice get `tell me something' instead.
