No Mercy (South Korea, 2010)

Sol Kyung-Gu plays a staff member of the National Institute of Scientific Investigation (NISI) in South Korea. He attempts to uncover the identity of a mysterious serial killer who decapitates his victims.

Korean thrillers are some of the best on this planet, that's a fact. They can be so brutal, gritty and dark that it's just beautiful. No Mercy is a stone cold tale of vengeance, that familiar theme that South Korea just seem to love. Of course I don't want to give away the ending, but wow it takes the cake and pretty much shoves it down your throat. Great actors, also. The main character is played by a fellow named Sol Kyung-Gu, whom you've undoubtedly seen before, perhaps in great films such as Peppermint Candy (2000) or Cruel Winter Blues (2006). 

A superb and suspenseful film.

Genre: Crime/Thriller
