I saw the devil Vs The man from nowhere?

[klutch2381]

I liked The Man from Nowhere wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more. While," I Saw The Devil" is an interesting film, it was ruined for me by the lead character having the dumbest revenge plot I've ever seen. Edmond Dantes, he was not. I wasn't able to suspend disbelief at all, but instead I was left looking at the screen like . I understand the philosophical underpinnings of the movie and what it tired to convey. I just think it went about it in an almost comical and totally absurd way, imo.

Both are so great but im gona with I Saw The Devil.

American films just

I Saw the Devil left me with a larger impression, but I'd rather watch The Man From Nowhere again...not as...difficult...to watch

Both exceptional films that everyone should watch at least once

any more must watched korean flicks

Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance
Oldboy
Sympathy For Lady Vengeance
Memories Of Murder
Madeo (Mother)
A Bittersweet Life
The Chaser
The Yellow Sea

You honestly can't go wrong with any of these. I'd suggest even more but these are must-watch.

Also, I don't know if it's been released in the US yet but Pieta by Kim Ki-Duk is also noteworthy. It's basically an arthouse take on the Korean revenge flick, so it's a lot more down-to-earth, but it still has a sick plot with some gruesome scenes.

Its a tie. One is sicker, while the other you can watch with your kids.

What's the sicker one?

What's the sicker one?

I saw the devil. Dont watch that with your kids. Pedophilia rape, gruesome kills, and a bunch of other sick serial killer shyt. Man from no where is on the same level as Die hard, a man on fire level.

I'm kinda late to both as i just saw ISTD about 2 weeks ago and I was surprised at how good it was and how long I've been sleeping on this film (been in my Netflix que for months). Is the man from nowhere on there too? Same concept?

If you want a sick movie watch "groteque". Heres a steam link (no ads): Gurotesuku | PutLocker. Heres some more top of the line korean/ asian flicks for the rest of yall:

A company man - nice little action flick about a typical construction company that low key acts as a front for organised killers:

playnow-A Company Man DVDRip x264.avi | PutLocker

Chaser - like the brother said a couple comments back, great movie. basically about a pimp that keeps losin bytches, so he investigates and finds himself in some sht.

**Chugyeogja/Chaser**(Ixche)EngSubs | PutLocker

Sympathy for mr vengence - I aint watched this in a while so i cant remember what its about lol but its a classic, just watch it.

**Sympathy for Mr Vengeance**(Ixche)EngSubs | PutLocker

A better sweetlife - another classic action flick about an underboss that ends up warin with his own bosses.

**Dalkomhan insaeng/Bittersweet Life**(Ixche)EngSubspart1 | PutLocker - pt 1

**Dalkomhan insaeng/Bittersweet Life**(Ixche)EngSubspart2 | PutLocker - pt 2

It's not the same concept, it's more the Korean version of a "Taken" type action flick. Still dope as hell.

As far as movies similar to "ISTD", peep "Oldboy" and "Lady Vengeance". Both Korean. Or a Japanese movie called "Confessions".

I also recommend this:

It's about a killer who waits till the statute of limitation on a murder (South Korea has a 25 year limit on murder cases ) he committed and comes out with a book on the crime on some O.J. Simpson shyt pissing people off especially the detective that tried to take him in before.
The twist blew my fukking mind.
