This South Korean action film was co-written and directed by Chan-wook Park. The cast includes Choi Min-sik, Yoo Ji-Tae, and Kang Hye-jeong. The film is based on the Japanese manga of the same name, written by Garon Tsuchiya and illustrated by Nobuaki Minegishi. This film tells the story of Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) who after being released from being imprisoned in a cell, which looked like a stark hotel room for fifteen years, is encouraged to find his torturers, and he has just five days to do this. This film is the second installment of The Vengeance Trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance - 2002 and Lady Vengeance - 2005). This film won the Grand Prix at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.
