Sympathy For Mr. Vengance DVD (Live Action Movie)
also known as: Boksuneun naui geot (2002)
Before 2005's Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and 2003's Old Boy, there was Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, filmmaker Park Chan-Wook's startling first installment in what would later become known as the director's "Vengeance Trilogy." Released in 2002, the film kicks off by detailing the plight of Ryu (Shin Ha-Kyun), a green-haired deaf mute who dutifully cares for his ailing elder sister. Without the proper medical attention, however she is bound to die of kidney failure, and since there's no suitable donor in sight, Ryu decides to turn to the black market for help, selling his kidney in exchange for a fresh one for his sister. Sadly, when Ryu awakens from the surgery, he learns that he's been swindled not only out of his life savings, but his kidney as well! Even worse, he soon learns from the doctors that a donor has been found, and that all he needs to do is put up the money for the transplant!
With no legal way to come up with the cash, Ryu and his girlfriend Cha Yeong-Mi (Bae Doo-Na), decide to abduct the daughter of Park Dong-Jin (Song Kang-Ho), a wealthy industrialist and Ryu's former boss. The plan is simple: hold her hostage until Dong-Jin pays the ransom. And things seem to be going smoothly, that is - until a fatal accident turns this "simple plan" into an all-out nightmare for Ryu and Yeong Mi. Little did they expect that their scheme would go so very, very wrong and cause a seemingly normal man to spin out of control, blazing a trail of vengeance from which neither party may survive!
