In 1991, five elementary school students told their parents that they were going to hang out on a nearby mountain to catch frogs. They went missing.I have seen a lot of crime movies. This one with The Chaser and Memories of Murder is the best ever made.
Novelty in this suspenseful movie is the treatment of the relations with the media. It's a good idea from director to introduce some questions of ethics.
What a pleasure to be drawn into a story by such intelligent writing and outstanding acting. The story is told with impressive direction, plenty of details and realism to hook in most people. There's a real sense of place and time.
Can the movie be as beautiful, but at the same time be ugly.
Like any dark mystery, the film simply raises questions, and gets the viewer to care about what happened to the kids.
Characters of parents, TV producer, professor, children, detectives, wives and many others, each and every one is so well casted it's hard to find anything to criticize.
The biggest pro for this feature is that they keep all the characters human by giving them a soft side. Nobody is either extremely good or bad, they just are humans making stupid choices and having to pay the price for it.

Reminds me first movies of John Woo. This was one of the best movies I’ve ever watched so far. Some may find it a bloody/violent movie but to me it was a very heartwarming movie considering the relation between a lone man, also a tormented soul, and an abandoned little girl. - DirectorNa Hong-jinStarsKim Yoon-seokHa Jung-wooSeo Yeong-hieA disgraced ex-policeman who runs a small ring of prostitutes finds himself in a race against time when one of his women goes missing.
