  This film is incredible. It goes beyond what Oldboy and Sympathy for Mr Vengeance does and really pulls you in.

  Lady Vengeance
  
  Although Lady Vengeance does not match the success of its predecessors, Park’s artistic flair and uncompromising eye are always worth watching.

  Lady Vengeance is an excellent thriller
  
  A highly watchable film. Not clichéd and very moving. Fascinating about life in prison. Would recommend as a thoughtful and engrossing film.
