Viewing Notes

From the guy who directed A TALE OF TWO SISTERS and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE WEIRD, so I had high expectations going in.

On the whole, loved the movie, but it could have used a bit of editing; it just felt too long in places. Having said that, after watching some of the deleted scenes, I felt that they should have been left in, because they critically change your understanding of some of the characters and their motivations.

This is, at times, a brutally violent movie that can shake you up (well, not me because I’m jaded, but others certainly), but there are some particularly hilarious scenes as well that you feel guilty laughing about.
