I Saw the Devil (2010)
Directed by Kim Jee-woon
Quick Hit
I Saw the Devil plays like a revenge nightmare—brutal, slick, with enough style to make the damage look beautiful.
Full Take
I Saw the Devil leans hard into revenge horror energy, and Kim Jee-woon keeps the tone brutal without letting the movie drift. The craft is sharp, the mood is nasty, and the pressure keeps building until the whole thing snaps. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.

Not perfect but had some solid moments.
This one actually worked for me.

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
Not bad, not great. Just okay.
