In a loss of a better expression, this movie is literally a piece of a mindfuck. When five psychopaths kidnap a young child only to raise him so he grows up and become their successor, then obviously the child is going to grow up very twisted and confused about his own identity. The only thing stopping me from rating this masterpiece a 10 is the fact that it's so gory, and that usually doesn't leave me for days.

What grips me the most about this story is that it teaches you that irrespective of the twisted circumstances you were brought up with, you as a human being still has all the innate capacity to break free from all the psychopathic tendencies, and redeem yourself. Of course, drops of blood will be shed because the boy eventually needed to break away from the controlling hands of his fathers, but these were reasoned and properly calculated instead of a path to become as dark and twisted as the real villains.

I cannot express how much in awe I was watching the young version of Yeo Jin Goo in this. I haven't seen him in much else, but I really believe that no other performance of him to-date has topped this one so far. It's an amazing treat to witness him portray the many expressions of a young teenage boy so desperate, angered and heartbroken in many sequences. I believe that you will truly understand why so many senior actors respect him so much if you watch how he performs this role so flawlessly at 16 y/o.

A true must-watch for all K-movie lovers!
