THE CHASER (2007)

Cast

Plot

Unpleasant ex-cop Joong-ho Eom who works as a charmless pimp is severely troubled that his girls have started walking out on him, that is until he discovers that they all shared the same phone number for their last customer, so he starts to track the guy down. This horror-thriller is a film that, not unlike "Memories of Murder" in terms of plot direction and mood, takes convention and turns it inside out. Exploitative yes, violent yes, funny sometimes, art house no, original and entertaining, very much so. Yet another Korean gem, watch it before the inevitable remake with Leonardo DiCaprio hits the screens.
