An acceptable take on one of the most profound serial killers in South Korea.

Dare I say it aged like fine wine, as a person who isn't fond of watching old films, my admiration for the director, Bong Joon-Ho, managed to push me into watching it. This film stands as a protest, and a complaint against the police force in South Korea, during the time the Hwaseong Serial Murders took place. What I loved the most about it is how it takes you to that entire experience, because much to my dismay, this is how they truly functioned back in the day.

The only reason I rated this film an 8/10 was because of the inaccuracies with the story itself, for one Gwang Ho wouldn't actually be released from prison. Instead, the police would go on to frame him, torturing him mentally and abusing him physically during the interrogation, and finally, making him the culprit and sending him to prison. Which is part of the many reasons why the case remained unsolved for many years.

In addition to this, I believe the plot was somewhat dragged on, or there were certain elements in the story where I felt like the movie would have survived even without those certain parts. The relationship between the two officers wasn't as well established as I would like, and their characters made a 180-degree turn out of nowhere, with one suddenly relying on evidence, and the latter trusting his instincts.

Overall, it is still a good film to watch.
