  SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE

I loved "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance". The move was both beautiful and ugly; tragic, dark, a welcomed stroll into the twisted lives of normal people who allow themselves to be flung into a broiling soup of rage, regret, sorrow, violence, obsession, and yes -- vengeance. One of the best things about this film is its wondrous use of ambiguity. You like everyone. You feel for everyone. Everyone's particular point of view is understandable, their wrath and indignation not necessarily justified, but completely warranted. These are folk who willing descend into depravity and murder after everything they hold dear is horribly and inexorably taken from them.

"Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance", is a wonderful, brutal, dark, film, as captivating as "Old Boy", if not more so.

Should be painfully obvious what sort of review I gave this film - FOUR COURSE MEAL.
