It was really good. Almost perfect, everything about it was great. I give it 9/10. All the actors were incredibly transparent, there was a good amount of humor through the movie to lighten the load of the more depressing parts, and you were able to connect with the characters pretty well with little back story. Spoiler The scene where the killer pops up behind the woman in the bushes in the back of the shot was one of the most horrifying scenes in any movie I have ever seen. It made my skin crawl. The shot was done in a way where it wasn't obvious to the audience at all, just a small figure in the grass that made the imagination run wild.

An excellent movie that fans of David Fincher's Zodiac will love.

Beautiful scenery, great music and good acting. I have seen it twice now and it was just as good as I remembered it. Some really funny moments and a few thrills and chilling moments. But the way the movie is crafted and cut is just beautiful. Love the ending immensely, and since it's based on a true story - you can't really complain about it.

Authoritarianism + anti-intellectualism. Name a more iconic duo. This is a political satire at heart, disguised as a crime thriller. It's Bong Joon-ho's way of shining a light on the rampant police brutality and socioeconomic inequality under the several dictatorships that the people of South Korea had to endure from 1961-1988. I'm deducting a couple of points because the third act was a bit messy, even though [spoiler]detective Seo's character development was pivotal in showing how toxic corruption is[/spoiler].

Doch eines ist sicher, alle die sich auf das koreanische Kino einlassen können werden bei „Memories of a Murder“ mit einem Film belohnt, der nachwirkt, der nach dem Abspann nicht nur ein weiterer gesehener Film ist. Man liest es vielleicht aus dieser Rezension raus, dass „Memories of a Murder More

This is cracking serial killer drama from Bong Joon Ho - with some superb performances - that tracks a police investigation trying almost every technique known to man to trace a rapist/murderer who is terrorising young women (especially if it is raining and if they are wearing red).
