2010's I Saw The Devil is a revenge horror thriller that sees an NIS agent in Korea seeking revenge against the ruthless killer who murdered his wife. Kim Soo-hyun was a loving husband who works too much. His job requires him to protect others, but the one person he's unable to protect is his own wife, who is abducted and murdered by the deranged Jang Kyung-chul. With his love killed for no reason and with nothing left but sorrow, Soo-hyun sets his sights on hunting his wife's killer for brutal vengeance. Unfortunately, achieving his goal requires the NIS agent to walk into the abyss of evil that Kyung-chul thrives on. To kill the devil, he must become the devil himself.
Director Kim Jee-woon believes that there is no way for someone to carry out revenge without destroying themselves. That was his aim to show in making this film. Soo-hyun falls deeper into Kyung-chuls abyss as the film progresses. Rather than outright kill the man, Soo-hyun implements a catch-and-release method by torturing his foe and letting him go to track him down and inflict more damage. In this way, he hopes to force Kyung-chul to feel the pain that Joo-yeun felt. The good man we met at the film's start is masked by a stone-faced killer whose creativity in torture shows the depths to which he's sinking in order to achieve his satisfaction. There is a symbolic scene where he forces a tracking device down Kyung-chul's throat. It's here that he becomes the devil to face the devil. From that point on, the killer is always in Soo-hyun's ear. He hears Kyung-chul's words, breathes as he breathes, moves as he moves to hurt him. The man he was before only briefly reemerges in glimpses as he's hurting Kyung-chul.
The best revenge films aren't just about vengeance and the satisfaction that comes with it. The best movies show how far the hero will go to right the wrong that was done to them in a way where they feel satisfied. Jee-woon shows us that no absolute vengeance can right the pain of loss. Everyone fantasizes about it, but it's ultimately futile and takes more than it gives. Realistically, no matter what Soo-hyun did, he was always going to lose himself to kill the devil. There was no real way he could have done it and found peace. 781b155fdc
