If this had been my first movie of Joon-ho Bong, I would have given it straight 8 or 9, but the truth is, it never even touched the standard set by him in "The Host" and "Memories of Murder". I'm not saying it's not good,but the thrill was gone. Characters and plots are reminiscence of John-ho Bong's previous work "Memories of Murder". Rainy and cloudy weather doesn't support the plot as much as in his previous movies. It can stand on it's own as a very good thriller and it's unfair of me to judge this movie on the basis of his previous work, but I am a bit disappointed. The best thing about the movie is acting by the lead character "Mother". 90% of the time she is on screen, and you wouldn't complain about it.
