Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The third stop in Chan-wook Park's breathless revenge trilogy, Lady Vengeance comes down slightly--just slightly--from the astonishing highs of middle segment Oldboy. Elegant and ultraviolent in equal measures, Lady Vengeance requires rapt attention from the opening moments, as Park unloads his set-up in a jumble of characters and flashbacks. At the center is a doll-faced ex-con named Geum-ja (Yeong-ae Lee), who just spent 13 years in the slammer for killing a little boy. There's much more to her case than the public knows, and Geum-ja has been carefully, quietly preparing for revenge against the man who put her in this situation. We watch those gears turning throughout the movie, but as Lady Vengeance nears its completion it broadens into an even bigger event than Geum-ja expected. Funny and horrifying, Lady Vengeance is as measured as Geum-ja's own preparations, and has a gorgeous sort of logic about it. As impressive as those machinations are to watch, the movie doesn't make as forceful an argument as Oldboy on just how revenge might be as punishing to the revenge-taker as for his target. Lee is a cool heroine, and Min-sik Choi, who did such heroically exhausting service in Oldboy, is here employed as the monster. (The film's title in the U.S., Lady Vengeance, is different from international title Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, a closer tie to the first part of the trilogy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.) --Robert Horton

5.0 out of 5 stars pARK cHAN wOOK's LaDY vENGEANCE , June 17, 2006
This is the last installment of Park Chan Wook's theme linked Vengeance trilogy - the first being Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and then OLdbOY....

Synopsis -

Geum-ja (Lee Young-ae), in her teen years is thrust into the spotlight when she is arrested and charged for the abduction and murder of a six year old boy, a crime she did not commit. The killer is Mr Baek (Old Boy's Choi Min-sik) framed her. While in jail, she gets allies to her cause for revenge and upon her release she takes her time to play out her fantasy of vengeance and the movie takes us through that journey as the director blends in a pespective of vengeance that is rather different from the last 2 films.

Review -

For fans of style , you will get your appetites filled as they are beautiful sets are littered all throughout the film. The violence is built up till the end when it erupts on screen. If you are a fan of OLdbOY, and that's the reason you are gonnna catch it; my suggestion is, do not expect an OLdbOY sequel or anything that resembles OLdbOY, as you will be sorely disappointed... Enter this film with the impression that is a whole new film experience and you will enjoy it......But mind you, this is a wonderful effort and a fantastic conclusion to the revenge trilogy....

The DVD -

2:35:1 Anamorphic Widescreen
Korean Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 Surround tracks
English and Spanish subtitles
Theatrical trailer, and some preview trailers

The rest of the extras are still not released.... I will update them when i recieve them..

But it's been confirmed that the fade to black version of Lady Vengeance(which appears in the Korean Special edition) is not available here.

Ps: Please note that the Korean distributors of the movie have only released a 2 disc special edition and there is a HK single and double disc edition available. If there are anyone mentioning a Korean single disc edition - there is no such thing and they are not legal versions, beware such sellers!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lady Vengence film review, January 9, 2007
This film is an exciting and poignant depiction of a woman whose life has reached the point of no return. The story unfolds in an intelligent way encouraging you to continue to engage with it. The music used is haunting and entirely appropriate for each scene adding to the drama.

This movie is not for the faint of heart. It deals with adult themes and criminal activity. It does this in a completely artful way. I saw the film originally during a Korean film festival on television and subsequently bought it as a gift for a family member.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lady Vengeance, January 4, 2007
By G. Lande "Arjuna_LS" (Rochester Hills, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There's a couple of movies that for some reason I waited months to watch after I bought them. They sat there in a pile, and I couldn't get myself to open them, and then I put them in and kicked myself for waiting so long.

Old Boy and Lady Vengeance are two of those.

I saw Lady Vengeance compared to Audry Hepburn (sp?) acting the part of a hitman. I think that's the perfect description. She's sharp, elegant, perceptive and strong. And she's dynamic. That's all I'll say without giving away the end.
