A South Korean crime drama by Park Chan-wook.
A deaf mute is trying to get his sister a kidney transplant. He sells his kidney to organ thieves who don't pay him and when a suitable donor comes up, he lacks the funds because the organ thieves took all of his money. The brother and sister team kidnap the owner of the factory where our main character was fired from in an effort to raise the money. The sister kills herself and while the main character is burying her (as per her wishes by a river), the kidnapped daughter drowns. It only gets more complicated from there.
Convoluted plot and too many characters don't work out very well here. This is part of a trilogy including Oldboy and Sympathy for Mrs. Vengeance. Needless to say, Mrs Vengeance will not be reviewed here. Because it's overcomplicated and confusing, I rate this bad.
