Review by Jude Felton
Korean cinema has given some great flicks over recent years, movies like the
Vengeance trilogy and
A Tale of Two Sisters amongst others have impressed me no end with their beauty amidst the violence. Welcome now to the world of
The Butcher,
here is a movie that for 75 minutes will batter you around the head
without even flinching, and you’ll get no apologies for it. This isn’t
a movie that will seduce you with its rich plot and deep
characterization. No, it is purely an assault, nothing more, nothing
less.
