One great accomplishment of I Saw The Devil is that Ji-woon Kim manages to in some ways make the hero's retribution equally as disturbing if not more disturbing than the killer's indulgences. Each time Agent Kim "punishes" Kyung-Chul, it's in a way that makes your skin crawl; you don't really want to applaud this guy so much as you're left wondering just how twisted his grief and loss are making him. Byung-hun Lee's chiseled face, blank expression and that possessed look in his hollowed eyes are often scarier than the mischievous smile Min-sik Choi flashes before dispatching yet another victim. It's a great juxtaposition that perfectly exhibits the concept of what happens when one stares too deep into the abyss.
As I stated before, there is one hinge to this movie that will surely polarize viewers: whether or not you can understand the idea of someone allowing a vicious killer to roam free for the sake of some deeper concept of justice/revenge. Every time Kyung-Chul hurts another person in the film, its hard not to be annoyed with Agent Kim for not killing this guy from the outset, and that agitation is enough to make a some viewers write this film off as another example of a "stupid" story that hinges on a character making "idiotic" decisions that no one in their right mind would make in real life. Whether that assessment is true or not is irrelevant -- it's going to be the knee-jerk reaction that some people have after seeing I Saw The Devil, and its arguably a fair criticism to level at the film.
In the end, this movie is for cult fans who know exactly what they're getting into and have experience with the extreme nature of Korean cinema. Those looking for a more conventional serial killer thriller, this film would likely turn your stomach and dim your soul.So, just how hard edged is Kim Ji-Woon's upcoming revenge thriller I Saw The Devil? Hard enough that producers have been planning to release it with an 18+ rating - the highest rating given to films approved for public release in Korea. The rating they've been given - and given twice, now - however is one known as 'Limited Screening', a highly restrictive rating that only allows the film to be screened in special theaters that only show adult films. Currently no such theaters exist, meaning the film has effectively been banned.
