Vengeance. This lady is out for it. You will sympathize with her.
With likely one of the most honest titles ever, this movie goes exactly where it advertises and does it superbly.
The story was masterfully told, the characters were intensely believable, the little plot twists were intriguing, the imagery was excellent, and the script was good. That's right, every single piece of a great movie came together in a well-meshing whole. I think there might even be a category for this kind of film, "revenge drama" or something, and I would say that it stands out as a stunning example of that genre.
Obviously, I have to buy a copy of Old Boy and Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance now. Oh, the trials and hardship of enjoying good film... 8 )
