[Update 05/09/2021: Need to redo this review completely. Fix the screenshots
also.]
When a secret agent's (Byung-hun Lee) pregnant girlfriend is brutally
raped and murdered by a psychotic serial killer (Choi Min-sik ), he takes off
after the guy in an insane game of cat and mouse. Strange thing is the serial
killer actually enjoys being the prey as much as he does being the
hunter. He sees it as a test to prove how badass he really is.
I SAW THE DEVIL might not be a home run, but it's very enjoyable and very
exciting. All the way up until the disappointing ending I was on the edge of my
seat just trying to guess what kind of crazy shit was going to happen next. I
never would have predicted the taxi scene in a thousand years!
Nudity, ultra-violence, great camerawork, lots of laughs, rape, murder,
attractive females, torture, testicles crushed, blood all over the place,
cannibalism, knives, guns, a turd...check it out! The sheer amount of psychotic
violence and extreme anti-human behavior in this film makes I SAW THE DEVIL a
good double-feature with
EBOLA SYNDROME. "You want to bully me?"

INCEPTION (2010)
Angus McCootybritches
is the world's most highly skilled dream theft. But he can't just get into your
dreams using hocus pocus. No, first he has to, in the real world, get a
hold of your body, then put you under and infiltrate your noggin. One day, a
super rich dude employs him to
implant an idea into somebody's noodle.
People say it can't be done, but Leo knows it can, because he once implanted an
idea into somebody's mind and, well, it worked a little
too well. Fast-forward some and Leo has
assembled his top-notch crew of dream warriors to sneak in and go multiple
layers down into the target's brain.
I liked the movie alright, but I kept expecting more. I was also very disappointed in just how boring the dreams were! I dream about all kinda of wacky shit: rats with mechanical legs chasing me down the cereal aisle at HEB; an intellectually disabled samurai taking a shit on a child's birthday cake; a demon-possessed pot hole that chases cars down and kills people; Leatherface chasing me around my kitchen with his chainsaw; Jesus getting beaten to death in the restroom of a Waffle House by an assassin boxing kangaroo; Stanley Kubrick being alive a directing this movie; people filming a big budget zombie movie getting attacked by real zombies, but never just sitting around in the bar of a hotel talking. Then again, I'm a worthless piece of shit that should have been shot to death with a shotgun as soon as I came out of the womb, so what do I know?
Mildly entertaining, but it definitely could have been better.
