Memories of Murder Audience Reviews

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

surfandski-1 I Can't believe the high ratings about this movie. The direction is horrific, the acting is even worse and after sitting through 2h11m of what could have been at least a rescuable story it is destroyed by and ending that is sooo bad your tv might not survive your remote smashing into it. Do yourself a favor and skip this crap

foutainoflife How you gonna deliver such a powerful drama that gets us all worked up, just to leave us hanging!! This was a great movie. It wasn't so much about the victim's deaths or the murderer as it was about the people who were having to investigate it. I love movies that focus in on that aspect because you know that this stuff really stays with the investigators long after things come to an end. The cases they never solve haunt them. This is supposed to be a thriller and it does come with some suspense but it is more dramatic mystery than anything else. That was a bummer for me because I was never really on the edge of my seat so I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for big thrills and suspense. However, if you are looking for a mystery this is a great choice.

tapio_hietamaki Simply put, this is a well-made film. The story is gripping and realistic (and real), the characters are interesting and the actors engaging, the themes are explored in depth, the visuals are striking and original, the music and sound design are immersive, and the 2 hour runtime is expertly paced. It's a tense and thrilling story, a detective mystery with gray morality and no clear resolution, so it will leave you feeling unsatisfied and even scared at the world around you, but it feels real and humane.The central conflict is between two detectives solving a murder case. The older one wants to get fast results and isn't afraid to manipulate the evidence to get a conviction, whereas the younger one is more idealistic and wants to be sure of the killer's identity. But ideals are hard to cling to in the real world, as the movie shows.'Memories of Murder' has great photography. It layers its shots so that there is always something going on in the background, movement and detail and even some kind of mini-story, so I suggest you watch with a close eye.David Fincher's 'Zodiaz' is a very similar film, and a good one, so to fans of either one I recommend the other.

Takethispunch In October 1986, a young woman is found raped and murdered in a ditch near a field. Soon after, another woman is found raped and murdered in a field. Local detective Park Doo-man, not having dealt with such a serious case before, is overwhelmed; key evidence is improperly collected, the police's investigative methods are suspect, and their forensic technology is near non-existent. Detective Seo Tae-yoon is sent from Seoul to assist them; their methods clash and he is unable to convince them they are dealing with a serial killer until his predictions of another murder come true. He realizes that the killer waits until a rainy night, and only kills women wearing red. A female police officer realizes that a local radio station is always requested to play a particular song during the nights the murders are committed.
