Sympathy for Lady Vengeance
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451094/]
The Gist:
The third film in Park Chan Wook's vengeance trilogy, and the greatest mixed bag of the three. The film has plot holes and gaps in logic, along with some weak sequences caused by a lack of consistent tone. On the other hand, it has numerous moments of poetic brilliance and when it hits its tone it hits it really well. In the end, Lady Vengeance shows the pique of an evolution in the trilogy where Park becomes more and more fascinated with style. It hurts the picture as much as it helps, but the ending has such a fascinating and sterile view on vengeance that makes up for a lot of shortcomings.
