When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Actually, there are two kinds of Korean cinema: the true Korean, genuine Korean scheme, and the Hollywood like one: the kind i hate with super heroes, action packed movies and of course f...happy endings. Useless to say that this feature belongs to the first category. Gripping, poignant, brutal, it could never be an American feature. But it is sometimes too long, a bit ankward, and the final ending disappointed me a little.

Really long and very frustrating... No vengeance at all.. Just scene after scene of how the bad guys win... I suppose maybe it was that way on the real world...

an unpleasant and long movie trying to extract negative emotion from the audience. a child splattered with the mother's blood crying, she has been shot in the head, but there is no brain, after all she's a woman, right? the, by now, usual korean movie violence, but not much else. a shallow and tardily plea for regicide, comparable with the middle age European texts. a shallow understanding of life in general, but who cares when revenge stories sell?

26 YEARS is another hard-hitting South Korean thriller, based around the infamous Gwangju massacre of 1980 which was Korea's own Tiananmen Square incident. The title refers to the main action taking place twenty-six years after the event, where an assembled motley group of survivors and relatives of those killed in 1980 decide to get revenge on the politician responsible. As with most Korean films I've seen, this one is expertly directed and photographed, with the inventive use of animation to play out key events of the past. It's a little overlong and a little heavy on the emoting side of things - a familiar aspect of Korean cinema - but the thriller aspects are wonderfully portrayed, with some highly suspenseful set-pieces building to an elaborate, exciting climax.
