I Saw the Devil Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
foutainoflife I loved this movie! I know this came out in 2010 but I'm just now watching it and I can say that this was one of the most awesome thrillers I've seen. I rank it right up there with Seven. I've seen where some folks have said that OldBoy (2003) is the better than this but I think this surpasses OldBoy. One of the best things about this is how you are easily lead into feeling for these characters. That has to be established, in my opinion, if you are going to have a real thriller experience. The acting was great. The speed was great and the story kept you interested. My only drawbacks were that we didn't get to hear a bit more about our killer and a few flashbacks scenes from the couple's life would have been a great addition towards showing the viewer just how wonderful the relationship had been. You clearly feel the love this man had for his fiance but she just got so little screen time that I would've like to have seen her character with a bit more depth.Some of the negative reviews have complained about the brutality towards women and the gore of that and it makes me wonder why they chose to watch it. It's one of those things like "if you don't like the heat, stay out of the kitchen." I can appreciate the realism portrayed here. This stuff really happens and the hurt, anger and desire for revenge is something everyone can understand. I loved it. Can't wait to watch it again.
Michael Speiser If you're watching this movie, chances are you're looking for something different than the usual Western drama/thriller flick. The good news is that you've certifiably found something different. The bad news is that not everyone is going to like this movie. Most reviews of "I Saw the Devil" talk about its ultraviolence, and I'll talk about it for a bit too, because it's important to this movie. As much as people like to complain about the violence or gore that this movie shows, they prove the reasoning behind it. This movie has borderline absurd scenes that make you more uncomfortable than you thought was possible from watching a movie, and that's the best thing about it. "I saw the Devil" will give you an experience you just can't get from any Western thriller movie, which is why I love it.This is certainly not a date movie, not a movie to watch with your parents, maybe not even anyone you aren't totally comfortable with. There's a lot of really, really strange and uncomfortable things that happen. And that's why some people just won't like this movie. Which is fine, some people don't like the feeling of a strong thriller movie. But if you're a thriller fan, and are looking for a wild ride of a movie, this is it.
robdot1964 Just when you think they've run out of new ideas, a movie lie this comes along. Brilliant
Raymond Sternadel It wasn't anything special but it had it's moments. Definitely a good quality movie and worth a watch if you're into crime dramas. Would I watch it again? Maybe. I liked a few parts of the movie more than others and they'd probably be worth another watch through at some point in the future.
