great stuff
forget all that crap Hollywood produces this is a proper film, in fact that could be said about every European film I've watched recently. But is you want something really special check out 'A Bittersweet Life' (Korean with subs)

Very good thriller
Unlike other reviewers, I didn't feel this feel was any more derivative or cliched most other films, although any serial killer thriller is bound to yield the odd familiar plot device.

I thought this was a very well crafted, beautifully filmed, atmospheric work and not only did I thoroughly enjoy it, but would watch it again - and possibly again.

Great Thriller
Highly recommend this film, very original, good characters, loved the way the film was split into chapters linking all the different characters and stories.

So disappointed
What a disappointing film. It starts so well and the idea is great, but then it just plods and seems to fizzle out. It is a great idea but a big disappointment. Didn't work for me at all.
