O Assassino da Capa de Chuva: Caça ao Serial Killer Coreano

"The Raincoat Killer", et al, is a documentary on how, despite being one of the most abjectly inept police forces to exist, the Seoul, Korea police caught a serial killer. Apparently, the Seoul police worked on a reward basis for promotion, so they didn't bother themselves with any other crimes but murder; you'd think they'd have been better at it. The documentary is incredulously amusing at times, which is disturbing. It also gave insight into who the P. D. found valuable in society and who they didn't/don't.

Ye Gods, this is like watching the Tiger King of serial killer documentaries. I have never, in my *life*, seen such a grotesquely, comically, inept and incompetent pack of Keystone Cops outside of, well, you know......

It's just jaw-dropping.

A very interesting true crime story, but a poorly made documentary. Spending a lot of time focusing on the psychological profiling of the killer and rushing through 'investigations' and aftermath. A strange storyline that's for sure.

This is a decent enough watch but could have been shorter and made into a single documentary. The most disturbing thing about it is how the South Korean police did not have a clue about chasing a serial killer until 2004. It's like their own Jack The Ripper....... Only over 100 years later!

We were told his name, but were never shown his face other than from a distance. If he escapes again, which wouldn't surprise me, I wouldn't have a clue if he sat down beside me in a coffee shop. And what about his background? Did he work? Where did he go to school? What was he like as a kid? What did his friends or associates say about him? And why was he called the Rain Coat Killer other than the cops put a yellow coat on him while walking through public. Was it yellow so they could find him easily in a crowd if he decides to walk away from police custody again? Worth a watch, but poorly done in several other ways than what I mentioned.
