Lady Vengeance (2005) 8/10

Starring : Young-ae Lee, Min-sik Choi, Shi-hoo Kim, Il-woo Nam
Director : Chan-wook Park
Running Time : 116 mins

When Lee Guem-ja (Lee) is sentenced to thirteen years in prison for kidnapping and murdering a young boy, she vows to take revenge on the man really responsible for the killing, Mr Baek (Kim), a man who is also responsible for kidnapping her own daughter and threatening to kill her unless Lee tells the police she was behind the original kidnapping.

Like Sympathy For Mr Vengeance and Oldboy, this is just a great exercise in black comedy with extra violence. The actors are all brilliant and perform perfectly in regards to their roles, but the characters aren't quite as strong as those in its predecessors. Definitely worth watching, but try not to be disappointed that it isn't another Oldboy.
