| Soohyun (Byung-hun Lee) shortly after finally killing his fiance's murderer after days of torturing him. |
While this film immediately starts off with the brutal murder of Soohyun's fiance, his emotions are very much held back. As a special agent he must remain calm and collected which he manages to very well. It is not until the end of the movie where he has tortured his fiance's killer, killed a few of his associates, bashed in a criminals balls with a hammer, unintentionally caused the death of some of his friends that we finally see what has been locked up inside him. Listening to the final moments of the murderer (Choi Min-sik) through a radio planted by him he walks down calmly down the road as the killers familt turns up. Once he hears the death of the killer he finally realizes that it solves nothing. Even though he has got revenge on a brutal psychopath he goes back to knowing that his fiance is dead and will never be at his side again. As he walks away from the house, he breaks down in the road and cries for a long time struggling to keep himself up. This is the side of a revenge killer we rarely get to see.
