Last part of the Vengeance trilogy by Chan-wook Park. Firstly Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, after Old Boy and finally this movie, a nice mix of poetry, violence and drama. It may be the most structured film of the trilogy with an interesting story, clear enough from the beginning until the end. It has the beautiful style as its precedents, with surrealistic scenes and perfect colours. Additionally, Lady Vengeance is a perfect thriller with a strong plot. Its weakest point is the ending: an exaggeration of the revenge's cliché.
Mark: 8.3
To Remember: Lee's cell mates
To Forget: Park's “personal sign” at the end. It's not necessary for this brilliant film
