Details

I Saw the Devil is a gripping and intense South Korean thriller that follows the story of a secret agent seeking revenge on a sadistic serial killer. The film expertly showcases the psychological battle between good and evil, raising thought-provoking questions about justice and morality.

The movie centers around Soo-hyun, a highly skilled agent who is devastated when his fiancée becomes a victim of a horrifying murder committed by Kyung-chul, a merciless psychopath. Determined to take matters into his own hands, Soo-hyun embarks on a quest for vengeance that takes him to the darkest corners of the human psyche.

I Saw the Devil stands out for its brilliant performances, especially by Byung-hun Lee as the relentless agent and Min-sik Choi as the deeply disturbing killer. Their cat-and-mouse game unfolds through a series of captures and releases, with Soo-hyun subjecting Kyung-chul to his own twisted form of punishment.
