The Merciless

The main element of trust and betrayal is what I really liked in this movie. It was dark and bloody but really interesting movie. It didn't bore you and kept you intrigued.

The Merciless is a tense and wonderfully paced film with beautiful cinematography and dynamic camerawork. It's convoluted plot with constant surprises is nevertheless easy to follow and tricky narrative structure that features time-jumps and reversals cleanly delineated. The characters are clearly distinguishable from one another; hard-boiled and violent but also humorous at times. I was fully engaged, entertained and delighted by the effortless expertise and strong performances displayed in every frame.

I'm confused with the reviews below 7. Are we watching the same movie?

This movie is really good. For those who like the crime genre, it's engaging and not boring. I've rewatched it more than 20 times. It's that good. You need to pay attention to the actors' microexpressions. Observe the cinematography and the chemistry-everything is perfect.

If you rate it below 7, it might not be your genre. You have to focus on the details. Im Siwan's acting here is truly amazing. Sol Kyung-gu's characterization is also impressive; he consistently delivers a stable and expressive performance. Chungmuro is truly remarkable.

This movie really made me obsessed.

This film was showcased at the Cannes Film Festival.

An Expecational Korean Action,Suspense,Drama movie story was soo good,Engaging & Deep ...Two tottaly different people how attached with each other ,betryal then trust then again Betryal & continue,,,,,Direction,Script was soo good,Story was very different & Acting was soild by all cast especially Gangster guy & Siwan

This movie is really underrated !

To me, It's much better than parasite than won the Oscar of best film this year.

It's a bit darker than I would like, but the plot is very well made and story is completely unpredictable - which is what I reproach to parasite (great film but I already predicted the end from the beginning).

This is so different and well made !

Must watch !
