26 Years

Good casting. Each of the actors had some charm that kept me intrigued. The cinematographers captured South Korea well, and I enjoyed looking at the scenery. There are a few scenes in particular that may turn some of the viewers off. I think it's common in South Korean movies to have scenes that stretch on longer than they should. At the last second (again), something happens to extend the scene or add suspense. Overall, I enjoyed watching this movie and would recommend it, especially if you're interested in the Gwangju Massacre.

This movie was a waste of time. It is a long drawn out movie without great character development. I would not watch this movie again, and I wouldn't recommend this movie for other people to watch.

Actually, there are two kinds of Korean cinema: the true Korean, genuine Korean scheme, and the Hollywood like one: the kind i hate with super heroes, action packed movies and of course f...happy endings. Useless to say that this feature belongs to the first category. Gripping, poignant, brutal, it could never be an American feature. But it is sometimes too long, a bit ankward, and the final ending disappointed me a little.

This movie is so awesome! Should get more worldwide attention but its not because this is surely not Kim ki duk's art house. About a victim's family who want to take revenge after what happened to their family 26 years ago in Gwangju's massacre, very well constructed and so unpredictable, its a true story I guess because at their ending credit they listed a lot of name,of victim of the gwangju's massacre.

Got sufficient tension, great acting, some saddy moment that make me cry and honestly I rarely cry watching movie although they say their genre are drama. If you love good thrilling movie just like the chaser, yellow sea, memories of murder, i saw the devil, and many more excellent korean thriller you will absolutely love this! If not I will punch myself in the face just like edward norton in fight club!

Stupendous, a daring production, given the circumstances of its production, and political and dictatorial barriers... Intelligent, resistant, convincing, but a beautiful South Korean production... That distresses that final "bad vase doesn't break"... made with online donations line, the end credits last 10 minutes, to name all the donors... And the real one is still alive and enjoying all its wealth acquired with the blood of the people, Chun Doo-hwan...
