Murder 2, A lame attempt to copy The Chaser

I agree watching Murder 2 was a great mistake ,but then i could have just checked my movie collection before going for it.It was just a day after I watched Murder2 i thought of getting over it by watching a movie from my collection,a South Korean movie which i had since ages but never thought of giving it a glance.So The Chaser , here I was ,watching this movie and soon realizing that a Bollywood movie had again ripped the original movie apart by remaking it with such a sick name Murder 2(go screw yourself Bollywood).
So the story remains the same minus Jaqueline Fernandes good for nothing skin show and the other thing different is that the the main lead of the movie played by Yun-seok Kim is the pimp and it is his girls missing.Though Prashant Narayan did a good job playing the killer in the Hindi remake Jung-woo Ha did a great job being the real ripper in the movie from smashing skulls ,killing dogs and chopping off bodies.The other character which catch your eye is the kid whose mother is one of Yun-seok Kim's girls and is gone missing.The guilt of this make him want to save the girl so that the child doesn't loose her mother.
The movie moves along really well towards the end without u knowing that u have already spent 2 hrs and have sunk into your seat wanting to know what has to happen of the killer.In the end you have the lead Yun-seok Kim getting beaten up and bruised trying to catch Jung-woo Ha(the killer) but is not killed like it he Hindi remake.The movie is a fast paced thriller which will make you want to sit and go like on a Poker table at the same time will also give a goose bump in every kill that Jung-woo Ha makes.
Bollywood should atleast leave such good movie alone and after Hollywood movies its now Korean movies which are being raped in such a bad way. All the best with your originality ,hats of to The Chaser great work done by the director Hong-jin Na in his first movie( you have a long way to go )unlike Mohit Suri as all u can do is rip some movies from the DVDs.
Recommended for all suspense/thriller genre lovers.
IMDB Rating : 7.9/10
