bama1111 Review of I Saw the Devil

I Saw the Devil (2010)

Unsettling, to say the least, but intriguing

[7/10 · 23 January 2020]

I'm a fan of serial killer movies, books etc. but I has a few problems with this movie that kept me from going to 8 stars. Given the severe beatings, to the head, that are delivered, it's hard to imagine any of the victims survived them. I was also surprised that the detective never seemed to give any thought to those people victimized by the killer after the detective kept letting him go. There were at least a half dozen of them. In my mind. And, when the police finally became aware of what the detective was doing, they didn't seem to care. Except for a brief outburst by the police chief. I was surprised by the cannibal element that was so lightly touched on that it probably could have been omitted without hurting the story.
