I saw this a while ago now, but I was reminded tonight about how fucking fantastic it is.
It's a Korean movie, about a normal guy, a bit of a loser, who gets abducted and locked up in a room, without explanation, for 15 years. During the time, he sees on a television a news report about the murder of his wife, in which he is then implicated as number one suspect. His daughter is taken into care, and adopted by foreign parents.
After the 15 years, he is released without explanation, again, and given 5 days to discover why he was imprisoned.
It's a beautifully shot and unsettling film, with some brilliant scenes of ultra-violence.
Quote:
From Paul Berne's autobiography:
Damien Gates tried to use me as a way back into football. That dirty English cunt knew his career was finished and he tried to drag me down with him, attempting to keep me up by reminising about the old times. I could see beneath his lies however, right to the point where I just wanted to smack that bastard.
'I knew I hadn't played well that day, I knew the team hadn't performed to his capabilities but by golly, his head shake made me want to destroy his face'
