Sad Kinda Good
I was craving a murder movie and found this. When I saw it was based on a true story, I dove right in. I love serial killer/psychological thrillers and "Based On A True Story" had me stoked af! Unfortunately, it fell a bit flat for me. I understand the crime scenes weren't going to be too graphic but I somehow expected more detail I guess. Keep in mind this was made in '03, so it might not be to everyone's viewing standards. Anyway, it was a bit stale in a few parts but it was definitely realistic with the police brutality and unlawful interrogation that went on.As horrible as it sounds, this movie made me seriously think about with how infamous this case was that (since he was never caught) if the serial killer ever watched this film himself. The same goes for any unsolved murder that got recognition.
I'm pretty obsessed with the screaming halt/open ending (if that makes any sense). Worth the watch at least.
Enjoy...

surévalué
J’ai été influencée avant de visionner ce film : je pensais que c’était un des meilleurs policiers coréens, une référence dans le genre. Donc forcément très déçue, car je n’ai rien vu d’extraordinaire : scénario classique, personnages à la limite de la caricature, naration plate, fin décevante. Pas de surprise, un interet limité, presque de l’ennui. J’ai mis 4/10 car j’ai quand même été jusqu'au bout et qu’il date de 2003. Je n’en garderai pas un souvenir impérissable.Was this review helpful to you?
