Title: Memories of Murder

This detective movie is based on actual murders in South Korea performed by a serial killer. I found it a very good and impressive movie and if you dont mind non-Hollywood movies, definitely recommendable.

What do you mean with special asian futures?
The movie has a good story and also shows South Korean society in the 80's with demonstrations everywhere and harsh police brutality. Especially the ending was good.

Asian features, Asian characteristics
That is to say not to adapt to the typical American detective scheme. Something that makes a distinction to that.

Well Koreans movies are Korean LOL I mean that it does not attempt to go all Hollywood. Its just a modern movie, with characters with whom we all can identify with, not Hollywood action heroes nor distinct asian characters like martial art masters. It does show Korean society so some of the actors movements and behaviour may seem odd from the perspective of your own culture, but I dont think you would have problems of being too narrow minded :lol:

Ah and I thought they would revive Mr. Miyagi (in a South Korean version) ... narrow minded ;)

By the way, have you seen New Police Story ?

Yes its a good movie, but also has some flaws. I find the actors a bit overacting, especially Jackie. but the movie was a good change after all those comedy-action he made.
Although also an action comedy his best movie is:

A Tale of Two sisters & My Sassy Girl my all time favorite Korean movies..
They have some thrillers and romantic comedies..
Jackies San Wa (The Myth) was a true change from his usual style. Tho the movie was not the best of the best i'd give it an 8 out of 10 .. Very nice costume design and fight scenes designed well as usual.. But it was the Korean beauty that made me love the movie B)
