Hardcore
This is probably the most hardcore Korean movie ever made. The action is gritty yet stylish, with some humor thrown in. Just watch it. Trust me, it won't be disappointing.
- Ichi, NY | July 28, 2007
GREAT ACTION WITH EASY GOING STORY
THE ACTION HERE IS AT TOP NOTCH WITH ALOT OF TALENT BEING SHOWCASED AND ALTHOUGH THE STORY IS YOUR TYPICAL REVENGE STORY IT'S STILL GREAT TO SEE THAT FILMS LIKE THESE STILL DO EXIST, A SIMPLE STORYLINE, GREAT CHARACTERS, ALOT OF ASS KICKIN', AND SOMETHING THAT PAYS HOMAGE TO ALL OTHER FILMS BEFORE IT ;)

The Epitome of Korean Cool
Part coming of age, Part revenge thriller with a healthy slice of action. This is how it should be done.

Korean Tarantino
I just watched this movie and I must say that everyone has to be influenced by Tarantino in some way. This movie is Kill Bill without the revenge plot. The style of this movie is one I haven't seen in a martial arts movie in a while. The action scenes are some of the best, without the wire-fu and Crouchin Tiger flying makes this a must buy.

Dragon Dynasty Treatment
I had A DVD9 movie of this but Dradon Dynasty is great at what they do.
So Bay, buy the rights to Restless and bring it over.
- Sacha, Oklahoma City | October 05, 2007

Great story, lots of action. DragonDynasty Tops!
- jaz, TX | November 28, 2007
Awsome Cover
I bought this movie soley based on the cover of the DVD. IT LOOKED AWSOME! However, i built it up to much and it didnt match my expectations. needed more blood. Maybe even a couple John Woo style gun fights.
- Jeremy burns, Washington | December 16, 2007
Great action film
I enjoyed the movie a lot. The story line ties in great along with the action. I would recomand this film to anyone who's looking for an action film that won't bore you to tears!!
- Samuel L. Swopes, Tustin,Ca. | December 21, 2007
It's not oldboy but it's close
at least the 2nd or 3rd best revenge movie of all time. Great extras and Commantary good acting and it's got style. What more can you ask for?
and the Music score is amazing too!
- John, RI | December 21, 2007
Period!
I loved it! It was a tight mix of Stand By Me, Kill Bill, and A Better Tommorow. It was a cool movie that I've seen coming from Korea!
- Thomas A., Jackson, Mississippi | January 10, 2008
Not that great!!
I only put five stars because it won't post 2.5 stars which is what I really put. Not enough action and story was too weak.
- Bill, United States | January 19, 2008
Outstanding!
One of the best martial arts police/crime movies ever. After watching the bonus features, its a shame that the peple behind the movie had such a hard time getting it off the ground due to the industry's doubt in its success. Simply a great movie. Hopefully this will inspire other koreas to have more faith in the Director and Actors!
- Jake, Texas | January 21, 2008
Absolutely spectacular!!!!!
I just think it's a beautiful work of art. I hope that more of Ryoo's movies will be released through Dragon Dynasty, especially Arahan!
- James H., Pasadena, CA | February 10, 2008
Top notch action flick ! See this movie!
Likeable characters with great action and great story that moves along and keeps you on the edge of your seat and yelling at your tv for the two under dogs to make every one pay for there fallen friend.
- kevin, arizona | March 20, 2008
RAW!!!
This was that "Pure, Uncut!" Very violent and gritty. I was at the edge of my seat!
- Ross Pho3nix, Indianapolis, IN | March 31, 2008
Thx alot for this release, it was awesome.
I think this is a great movie from Korea wich is making really good movies nowadays. I also think that Dragon Dynasty did a great job with this one and im looking forward to 3 movies and they are Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin, Shaolin Wooden Men and Fist Of Legend + alot more that might show up in the future. :D
- Jimmy, Sweden | May 03, 2008
amazingly great.
another great film by Ryoo Seung-Wan.
he has once again blew all my expectations out of the water.
instead of the police hunting for friends killers revenge film i was expecting i got a great action filled movie with some great heartwarming comedy moments as well to show why the characters were willing to go so far for their friend.
with some great acting in the movie by both Ryoo Seung-Wan and jung doo-hung and some just stunning fight scenes its definatley worth a watch for any korean cinema fan.
- andrew dyer, north ayrshire, scotland | July 19, 2008
The City of Violence Rocks!
Excellent action packed flick.
I just had to own this one after seeing it many years ago.
Thanks DD and keep up the good work
- Greg, PA - USA | April 06, 2009
Easily compared to Kill Bill films, but stands on its own.
Ryoo Seung-Wan will be mercilessly compared to Quentin Tarantino (not a bad thing, though) for this film. The main difference is this is a much visceral and gritty film due to the intense action set pieces and realism that it is involved (it doesn't take many knife wounds to cause someone to bleed to death). Yes, it has a revenge theme but it shows how revenge can cause more harm than good (The director talked about how revenge eventually surrounds or envelopes the characters). Kill Bill is great and is referenced in this film, but give Ryoo Seung-Wan for making a great action film
