Homeboy!! This was one awesome pimp. Disgruntled former detective turned pimp takes on the task of frantically trying to find the man responsible for what he believes to be the selling off of some of his girls. He links the phone number of a client to the missing girls but only after the client calls for a new girl and the pimp sends her out. The pimp gets in touch with his girl and gives her instructions to call back with the address of this client so that he can confront the man. Once she arrives and there is no cell service from the location, the evening begins to spiral into a night of chaos. It was a near perfect movie. I actually wish I could give it a 9 1/2 stars! I loved everything about this with my one complaint being that the final confrontation was shot in such low lighting that it was hard to see and enjoy the full ferocity of the moment in all its beauty. If you are looking for something with a healthy dose of action and suspense, you will be happy with this. Great movie.

This is really not everyone's cup of tea. The film is indeed very well made, but I found it so good and disturbing that I actually don't want to see it again. It is very unpredictable. Yeong-hie Seo was exceptional as the last abductee Mi-jin Kim.The police is depicted as completely incompetent idiots, actually. Not sure if this was the intention or if this is the norm, because I've seen the police act in similar fashion in other films. They really do the strangest things

I didn't expect this! I'm thrilled. First 30 minutes I thought this might be boring movie, but in the end my heartbeat was insane.The main character went from being "I don't give a damn, all I want is money" to "I'm gonna save this child's mom even if I die". He couldn't even believe these women were killed, because it's unimaginable, like we all would think. All his quotes were so normal, stupid and real. Not like in most thriller movies where you can hear just smart, serious, detective quotes.Cops who are not experienced in crimes like this and are not sure what to do.Beating scenes so incredibly real, you could almost feel it. And that poor woman, after all she's been threw was concerned he won't be mad at her for leaving prostitution. I think we all just wanted her to stay alive.And the sociopath.. Oh my God, you could almost feel him behind you, starring at you and waiting for the moment to do what he do.. And I love the fact it's not Hollywood, It was so unpredictable. Just give it a chance and watch it.

Hi everyone. So at first this movie seemed great. Solid acting, good opening, nice pacing, and then after about 30 minutes in the movie makes a turn for the worst.The entire last hour and a half of the movie are ridiculous, completely unbelievable garbage. The main killer is caught, and get this...for no reason at all...they free him almost immediately. It literally makes no sense at all. In the movie they act as if there is no proof of his deeds, although there is heaps of proof. They collected DNA evidence, they found that he beat a kid with a hammer three years prior, the way he conducted the murders matches the case descriptions exactly, he stole a car and he has called all of the missing girls.I was so angry at the end of the movie. I just wasted two hours with a movie about catching a brutal killer...he is caught...and then...lets just set him free to kill yet again in his unpatrolled empty neighborhood in broad daylight and then he walks back home to bury more dead bodies. RIDICULOUS!!!If you want to waste two hours with a ridiculous story about a murderer being treated like a princess, watch this.
