The third and final film in Park Chan-wook's Vengeance Trilogy is undoubtedly the weakest.
While it takes things down a different road from the others, although still some familiar themes are there, and introduces a woman as the main character, for some reason it didn't feel like it had the same edge as it's precursors.
It retains the oh so dark humour of Oldboy, whilst still pushing the emotions of the characters and the justifications for their actions (not that Oldboy didn't of course).
Again, it's beautifully shot, beautifully directed and although it's, in my view, the weakest of the three films, it's a must see.
