this was good, i'm not into action movies but this was a thriller and the action (what there was of it) was short and to the point, not endless shots of people turning into punching bags. and no gory scenes...

i didn't like the detective, he wasn't a "good guy" others might say that the "end justifies the means" but not for me. i hate it when in crime dramas or movies the police r allowed to "get away with murder" just so they can get the bad-guy at the end. and everyone's so focused on the ending. that they ignore all the bloodied innocents that had to go through hell to prove their innocence. here the first girl that is murdered is "on" the cop/detective. what, cause she is already a junky she is expendable?!?
his conscious was acting up, so he just shifted the blame onto Mr. Lee - but he was the one who put her in danger.
same with the whole movie. Rak also was an innocent (at the time he was an innocent to the cops) injured and orphaned at that, and all Won-ho could see was how he could use him to catch Mr. Lee. So what is the difference between the good and the bad?!?

i for one don't care for an ending where Rak didn't survive, not cause i think he was trying to redeem himself or turn over a new leaf - and now be a good guy. maybe he was just laying low and would regroup the sec everything died down. he didn't kill Brian after all and scared the sh*t out of him - tortured him into happily taking the blame and saying he was Mr. Lee.
but cause there was no justification for the Won-ho to come seeking justice as he was no longer a cop, but just an average citizen with a grudge - u can't even call him a vigilante - as he wasn't any better then Rak.

btw i don't get why people r having a hard time getting that Rak was Mr. Lee - even after his conversation with Brian (1:39:40) before him getting tortured.
