FIRST OF A BRILLIANT TRILOGY - AN UNFORGETTABLE MOVIE EXPERIENCE

One of the most gruelling and relentless movies ever made, Park Chan-wook's Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is the infamous opening chapter of what was to become his "vengeance trilogy". Ryu (Shin Ha-kyun), a deaf-mute, is desperate to find a kidney for his dying sister. He is betrayed by a group of shady black market dealers, which sets into action an intricate and ultimately tragic set of circumstances in which Ryu and businessman Dong-jin (Song Kang-ho) are pitted against each other: neither the hero, and neither the villain.
