positive · AI labelView post →Now watching the whimsical Korean hitman dramedy NO MERCY FOR THE RUDE (2006), a movie that probably landed on my watchlist because SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE star Shin Ha-kyun plays a mute killer. I’m about an hour into the movie and I still don’t know what it’s doing or where it’s going.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today is #letterboxd #lastfourwatched day! Rewatched Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance with friends who never seen it. They loved it and I enjoyed it more this time around. Harakiri went straight to my top 5 movies of all time. Registered my short horror film on letterboxd. Oddity was CREEPY, I loved it!

neutral · AI labelView post →Sympathy for Mr Vengeance is a flawless film tbh
positive · AI labelView post →I know Oldboy is the one everyone talks about but genuinely, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance has been one of my all time favourite films since my teens. It’s a difficult film to recommend to people because of it’s subject matter, but I love it
positive · AI labelView post →Watching all of Park Chan-wook's movies along with Blank Check and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance sure is a hell of a movie!!!

Also included just the line art version because I really think I've found my favorite style for the moment right now. (I have not watched this movie lol)

neutral · AI labelView post →As a cinephile, some years ago I had a flashing moment of "Holy SHIT, the Korean cinema is incredible right now!" and I can remember the film. It was SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE. If you haven't seen it, it's a slam-dunk.
positive · AI labelView post →My favorite non-horror film of all time is Lady Vengeance (2005). I saw it the first time when the movie was still being marketed as Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (like Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) and it made a lifelong impression on me. There's something almost Giallo-esque about this film.

It's "DESPERATE MEASURES" (part 2) And for those wondering when I was going to feature another movie directed by Park Chan-wook (the last time was in early 2021), get ready for SYMPATHY FOR MR VENGEANCE; stream starts at 8:00PM EST… www.wonderville.nyc/events/fort9...
neutral · AI labelView post →56th movie of 2024: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002). A down-on-his-luck deaf guy and his girlfriend decide to get into kidnapping, and it goes very poorly. This movie really emphasizes the "sympathy" more than the "vengeance." There's no cathartic violence here, just a cycle of pain. #Filmsky 📽️
positive · AI labelView post →Hard watch, but beautifully shot movie with incredible performances. Prefer it to Oldboy. Haven’t seen Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance though, so I can’t compare there.
positive · AI labelView post →SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE That Park Chan-wook can make a film. Going from incredibly funny to incredibly upsetting every few minutes.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (복수는 나의 것) tonight and loved it. What a film.
positive · AI labelView post →Lady Vengeance is the movie in the Vengeance trilogy that I remember the story the least, but love the most visually (if that makes sense). I do wish that the 'fade to black and white' cut was available on streaming. Because of how iconic 'Old Boy' got and 'Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance' (1/2)
neutral · AI labelView post →Park Chan-wook's new film was good! Characters almost out of Twin Peaks get caught into a chill-guy-becomes-evil, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance style, story (much less violent though).
neutral · AI labelView post →I think I still personally prefer Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, but this felt like a "stronger" movie if that makes sense.. some very great and strong scenes in general, even if I have some minor gripes with how "fantastical" it can be But Mr. Vengeance made me sick so I like it more..
positive · AI labelView post →This October right now for me is very thriller themed with the movies I’m watching meanwhile the games are as horror as they get. Finished watching Collateral, great film, now i’m watching Sympathy for Mr Vengeance.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched Oldboy. I didn't need confirmation that it's a classic, I needed to see again how classic it is. It remains better than Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (not by a ton), but THAT movie, I'd love to discuss with others who've seen it.
neutral · AI labelView post →the Vengeance trilogy is INSANE, I couldn’t finish “Sympathy for Mr Vengeance” though due to it uHhhHhH being one of the most dense portrayals of human misery I’d seen in a movie
negative · AI labelView post →Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance I thought this was gonna be a simple revenge movie, but it just unraveled into so much more, murphy's law causing all these terrible people to clash Man that was a bad kidnapping
positive · AI labelView post →I'm revisiting the Vengeance Trilogy, beginning with Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002). It's about ordinary people caught in an escalating cycle of violence, an unconventional revenge movie wrapped in a dark cloud of irony. #filmsky www.cinematicpanic.com/sympathy-for...

neutral · AI labelView post →I was born in 1991. l'm choosing one movie per day from each year to today. #filmsky 2002: Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance. A brutal, cruel, cold, horrific, and realistic version of what revenge actually brings. One of the bleakest movies that I have ever seen, but in a twisted way, I love it.
positive · AI labelView post →I think that if Decision to Leave is a 4 star movie than Sympathy for Mr Vengeance is an 8 star movie. I think Decision to Leave proves once again that ACAB. I think if you haven't seen the whole Vengeance Trilogy don't fuckin talk to me about Oldboy.
positive · AI labelView post →11. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance Literally nothing I can tell you about this movie will prepare you for it
neutral · AI labelView post →What's the biggest case of the domino meme in your life? I see a dual advert for the UK releases of BAD GUY and SYMPATHY FOR MR VENGEANCE in a film magazine in May 2003 ---> I move to South Korea in 2010
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's movie is Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance >is a 2002 South Korean neo-noir crime thriller film. Ryu, a young, deaf-mute factory worker holding the daughter of a wealthy man for ransom (for his sister's kidney transplant), and the path of vengeance that follows when the plan goes awry.

neutral · AI labelView post →Hey! Remember Oldboy? That movie they made a terrible remake of? Did you know it was a part of a trilogy and it was the second movie in that trilogy!? Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance are also weird and worth your damn time, watch all the ones you haven't!
neutral · AI labelView post →Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is an extremely ugly movie with a narrative symmetry that's both naive and genius. Aspirational both as nasty storytelling and as a story itself
neutral · AI labelView post →2. Sympathy for Mr Vengeance (2002) I can't believe I waited so long to watch these movies. What was I doing for the last 20 years?
positive · AI labelView post →Today's Watch: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) Nice noir. Honestly may like it better than Oldboy. Great performances, the script ties itself up in a nice package. Nothing is too farfetched as to be unbelievable. Very well shot for the budget. Honestly just a really solid film. 8/10
positive · AI labelView post →You know, from the way people talk about Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance I was expecting to be MUCH more traumatized by this movie I enjoyed it tho 👍
positive · AI labelView post →Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) #MeadiaThread Park Chan-wook is a master at crafting revenge films and this might be his most disturbing in my opinion. This movie is simply miserable, and I mean that as a compliment. Divinely tragic. No Other Choice is sunshine and rainbows compared to this.

neutral · AI labelView post →Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is my favorite from Park Chan Wook's Vengeance trilogy, and a movie that's become more liked in recent years. At the time of its release there were mixed reviews with the main critique being its use of violence, and barely acknowledging its phenomenal ironic comedy. (1/2)
positive · AI labelView post →Hey so it actually should be illegal that there's a Park Chan-Wook movie coming to US theaters but not near me. Like they haven't even seen the guy shit himself or the sudden unrelated circlejerk scene in Sympathy for Mr Vengeance who will fight for my rights
neutral · AI labelView post →It's a great Korean adaptation of the original Japanese manga. They change all the locations and character names naturally, but Park Chan-wook really nailed it as the centerpiece of his vengeance trilogy (Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Oldboy, and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) His new film is great too..
neutral · AI labelView post →Sympathy for Mr Vengeance was somewhat different than i expected it to be and i guess that’s on me. Not really sure how feel about this film to be honest. A lot of mixed feelings to be sure. Well regardless, watching Oldboy next.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie Night 📽️: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance I love Oldboy, I’ve watched it a million times but never have seen the whole trilogy. Fixing that tonight
neutral · AI labelView post →My introduction to South Korean cinema was Park Chan-wook's brutal Sympathy for Mr Vengeance 복수는 나의 것 (2002). He remains one of the world's greatest directors. Excited to see his latest film, No Other Choice 어쩔수가없다 (2025), starring Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin.

neutral · AI labelView post →I really enjoyed this film as it reminded me of the old Tartan Asia films. I think the setting, tone and cinematography just gave it this vibe reminiscent of films like Cure or Sympathy For Mr Vengeance. An interesting murder mystery and well worth a watch on @criterion.bsky.social.
positive · AI labelView post →As May is nearly upon us, my next film year has been selected and it's 2002! Priorities for me are: 28 Days Later Sympathy for Mr Vengeance City of God Chicago The Man Without A Past Anything else you would recommend? #FilmSky🎥
