Kang-do is a heartless man who has no living family members and whose job is to threaten debtors to repay his clients, the loan sharks who demand a 10x return on a one month loan. To recover the interest, the debtors would sign an insurance for handicap, and Kang-do would injure the debtors brutally to file the claim. One day he receives a visit from a strange, middle-aged woman claiming she is his long-lost mother.[18]
Over the following weeks, the woman stubbornly follows him and he continues to do his job. But he is slowly moved and changed by the motherly love expressed from this woman."
An interesting film from an interesting director. There is not my first Kim Ki-duk film nor will it be my last. Kim really knows how to use the medium of human pain, better than any other director I know. His films are always breaking the code of normalcy, his films go beyond what we expect to see. Lee Jung-jin and Jo Min-so did a wonderful job in this film. I hope to see more work from them!
I suggest this film to all those that enjoy darker films
2.5/5
