RECOMMENDED: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (Park Chan-wook 2002) Ryu is a deaf-mute who is working in a factory to support his ill sister who is in dire need of a kidney transplant. Unfortunately Ryu is not a match so he cant donate one of his kidneys to her and on top of that he also loses his job. He decides to get a kidney of the black organ-trading market with his pay-out but the gangsters he deals with end up screwing him over and steal his money and kidney without giving him another kidney in return. Only then is he contacted by the hospital as a suitable transplant has been found but now he lacks the money to pay for the operation. Ryus radical terrorist girlfriend than convinces him to kidnap a girl from a rich industrialist to pay for the operation. But things do not go according to plan and soon every single character in the movie is out for revenge on one another. The first film in Chan-Wook Parks acclaimed Vengeance Trilogy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is the perfect date film if you want to ensure that you never go on a second one. Taking depressing and bleakness to whole new heights, the movie can be hard to sit through, especially for those who go to the movies to forget about their daily worries with some escapist entertainment. This is also not an action film so if thats what you like about Korean thrillers, this might not be your cup of tea. But after all those warnings, let it be known that Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is a tour de force in stylish pessimism and disturbing darkness. A nihilistic masterpiece. https://youtube/watch?v=PhZ8xGzyASE
