If Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance hit the spot, these will too

Both are Park Chan-wook's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Less kinetic, more its own thing

Both are working the same pair: kidnapping, revenge

The same preoccupation in both: revenge
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

Kinetic where it counts, contemplative underneath
The difference: Leans further into crime

The same mix in both: tension, then relentlessness
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still


One thread runs through both: kidnapping

Drama built on stillness, twice over

Thriller with a pulse of tension, in both cases
