Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (South Korea, 2002)

violent tale of revenge gone wrong. It tells the story of a poor deaf man who kidnaps a young girl to pay for his sister’s much-needed transplant. When the young girl accidentally dies, her bereaved father goes on a search for answers and vengeance.

The first installment in the Vengeance-trilogy and my personal favorite. Every actor are perfect for their role and the line between antagonist and protagonist becomes blurred behind the characters personal motivations. A tragic, bleak story about what humans are capable of when in absolute despair. 



Genre: Crime/Drama
