Anyone seen Bittersweet Life?

Has anyone seen this Ji-woon Kim movie? I saw a clip on Film 2006 last night and it looked really good. HKFlix have it for about £15 and I just wondered if anyone had seen it cheaper else where?

Saw it at Frightfest last year.

I found it too be a highly entertaining movie with nice comic moments and action sequences, which reminded me of Hong Kong movies in the 80s.

Unfortunately, I didn`t find it as gripping or satisfying as Kim Ji Woon`s earlier `A Tale of Two Sisters` or the revenge-themed `Oldboy`, mainly due to the muddled plot and conclusion.

Still worth watching imo.


Wait! We can`t stop here! This is bat country!

It`s terrific. I got it on release for about £15. The clip on the telly appeared to have subs for the hard of seeing - they were about half the size of the screen! If they`re going to be like that on the R2 disc, I`m glad I got the Korean one..
