tailored for western market Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10
This film seems to be promising in the beginning but you'll soon find that it is just like watching another of those Hollywood movie with sex and violence as its theme. What a waste of time.

Fantastic! Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
This film is classy, gripping, wonderfully acted, illustrates superb cinematography and is one of the very best movies of its genre....not only in Korea, but the world. I am gradually introducing my friends to the glory that is Korean cinema because at the moment they are missing out on loads of fabulous gems...this film is no exception. Highly recommended!

A monumental achievement! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This review is actually based on the 2-Disc Korean Edition. Regardless, you should see this film in whatever format necessary.

With Memories of Murder, Bong Joon-Ho (continuing his winning streak with The Host) has crafted one of the most effective thrillers in recent memory. Based on true accounts of Korea's first documented serial killer, Memories of Murder follows two detectives (Song Kang-Ho and Kim Sang-Kyung) during a culturally tumultuous time in South Korea's history as they try to solve a series of murders. Bong rightly decides not to offer a proposed solution (i.e., identifying a killer), but instead focuses on a series of red herrings, culminating in a heartbreaking ending shot that implicates everyone who sees the film. Unlike more mainstream serial killer films like Silence of the Lambs and Seven (both good films in their own right), Memories of Murder does not dwell on a crazed individual on the fringes of society, but instead alludes to an individual who is so ordinary, he cannot be described. What is truly scary is that most killers are not Hannibal Lecter-esque. They are ordinary people that we might see on the street.

See this film by any means necessary. Aside from a relentlessly disturbing atmosphere and score, Bong Joon-Ho and the whole cast did a fantastic job in treating the subject matter with respect and restraint, while never undermining the severity of the events.

NO.1 KOREAN MOVIE !!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
For me this is the most enjoyable korean movie you can see, based on true events (very accurately too) of serial killings that went on for many years and at a time when the government didn't have any recources to offer the policemen on the case, it shows how the officers involved had very little experience with serial killings, one of them trying to get any criminal he can find to confess, another who resorts to beating the suspects and a new policeman on the case who introduces the idea of using psychology to catch the killer. It concentrates very heavily on the characters of the film and is very funny at times due to the streak of dark humour, it also has a very realistic feel that puts you there, so unless you are an action junkie who has no time for depth, if there is only one korean movie you get to see you have to see memories of murder.

So....who is the killer??? Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I bought this movie because of all the good reviews I read in the past. I must say I really liked it, well done, but the end its kind of confusing to me. Am I missing something? Who is actually the killer? I just didn't get it.

Song Kang Ho in unsolved mystery... Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
First time when I saw the trailer of this film, I truly didn't think it would be something out of ordinary other than maybe it's worth watching because one of my favor actor Song Kang Ho is in it. I admit it was also the only reason I did end up watching this film because of he is the lead actor. After watching this film I realized that not only Song Kang Ho was flawless in his act as a countryside detective in Korea, on the other hand I was amazed by how good of a well documented film it was. I really enjoyed watch this film which made me exercises my brain to think who could of be the serial killer from the beginning to end. This film has all the elements that I am looking for in a base on a "true crime" that happened in Korea. Top 5 Korean movie in 2003 without a hesitation in my opinion.

Awesome Movie Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I think that this movie is a fabulous movie because it actually reflects the mysteries in life. There are somethings we'll never find the answers to and appearances are deceiving. Now i know and remember, not to judge a book by its cover.
