I found it hard to follow at times. It could be because the subtitles kept saying Book Source; it took me a while to catch on to that being the literal translation of the boy's name. Many of the reviews skip over the fact that the girl-child was hit by the car because she was escaping her abusive father; it's not like she was just la-dee-dah-ing along the freeway on a foggy night and accidentally got hit. In fact, the lifelong effects of child abuse is the story. Choi Hyun-soo tries to cover up the accident because of his strong fear of retribution, something he learned at the hands of his abusive father. His actions mirror the young girl's as she tried unsuccessfully to cover up her misbehaviour and pays the price for it. And Ahn Seung-hwan, also having been abused as a child, developed into an empath - another trait typical of abused children. Don't let the blood and guts distract you; this is a type of psychological terror that plays out every day, all over the world, in real life.

Incredibly good thriller. The story follows a man who hits a little girl in his car, the girl was running from her wealthy abusive father who was probably going to kill her anyway. But, the death enrages the father, pretty much because she died from someone else's hands. The way the filmmakers have made this is beyond anything Hollywood is creating and for me is the future of cinema. The camera angles, use of slow motion to create emotion, the soundtrack, and the performances all equal a great piece of art.
