End IMDB
Okay... the first thing I want to say is that this movie is DEFINITELY RATED R! Please if you are sensitive to violence, sexuality, and language, please do NOT WATCH! It is extremely violent. It is graphic both violently and sexually. Also, some of events of the plot are very sick and twisted.
So, this movie incredible. It is definitely one of my favorite Asian movies. The storyline and trailer seems maybe dumb at first, but watching it is absolutely different. It became much more complex than what you think. You become confused and lost just as the character is. It's a big mystery that doesn't become revealed until the end.
I'm not really good at saying anything about the movie without giving anything away, but this movie blew me away...
This is a DEFINITE watch (unless like I said above, you are sensitive). I think I remember hearing this is one of the top all time movies in the world or something. But this movie has received A LOT of good reviews.
