  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.
