• The Age of Shadows | Blu Ray | (10/07/2017) from £8.95   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  The latest from the award-winning Kim Jee-Woon, The Age of Shadows is a slick, suspension-fuelled espionage thriller featuring an all-star cast. Set in Japanese-occupied Korea of the 1920s, Song Kang-ho plays a Korean police captain in the Japanese police force with a special mission: infiltrate and deceive the armed resistance fighting for independence, lead by the charismatic Kim Woo-jin (Yoo Gong). With both men standing on opposing sides, each knowing the identity and intentions of the other, a cat-and-mouse game ensues - one in which not everyone will make it out alive. Also starring Byung-hun Lee and Ji-min Han, this is a blistering spectacle from a master filmmaker at the top of his game.

  This collectable set includes three of director Chan-Wook Park's most celebrated films; his vengeance trilogy. Although the films do not follow on from one another they have the same central theme at their centres; retribution and its effects on both the victim and the aggressor. This collection of three ultra-violent films includes Sympathy for Mr Vengeance Oldboy And Lady Vengeance. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002)Deaf mute Ryu (Shin Ha-Kyun) has saved all his hard-earned money for his sister who requires a kidney transplant. He has the wrong blood type to be able to donate one of his kidneys so he arranges a trade with a group of black-market organ dealers: one of his kidneys and 10 million won in return for their finding a kidney for his sister. Just as the criminals renege on the deal a legitimate kidney becomes available for transplant. Unfortunately Ryu no longer has the 10 million won required for the hospital to perform the operation. In retaliation he and his political activist girlfriend kidnap his former boss's daughter - but events quickly spiral quickly out of control... Old Boy (2003)Is another vibrant and twisted revenge thriller. Oh Dae-Su (Choi Min-Sik) has never taken his role as husband and father seriously and has just been released from police custody for drunk and disorderly behaviour on his own baby daughter's birthday. When he finds himself in solitary confinement in a prison cell after being mysteriously abducted on the street he has no idea what is going on or why. A year into his imprisonment he learns from the small television in his cell that his wife is dead and that he himself is suspected of the crime. When fifteen years later he is released as suddenly and inexplicably as he was detained he is determined to track down his tormentors and wreak his revenge. But little does he know that his kidnappers have even worse horrors in store for him... In Lady Vengeance (2005)Geum-ja Lee (Yeong-ae Lee) is a young woman who works for underworld crime boss Mr Baek (Min-sik Choi).

• Lady Vengeance | Blu Ray | (25/01/2010) from £21.65   |  Saving you £3.34 (15.43%)   |  RRP £24.99

  After being betrayed, Lee Geum-Ja ends up in prison. Years later she gets out, and with the help of her former prison mates seeks revenge.

• Lady Vengeance | DVD | (28/01/2013) from £7.41   |  Saving you £5.58 (75.30%)   |  RRP £12.99

  It's rare that a movie combines extreme violence, visual panache, and gut-wrenching emotion, but Lady Vengeance is just such a movie. Geum-ja Lee (the lovely Yeong-ae Lee, Joint Security Area) is sent to prison at the age of 19 for kidnapping and murdering a 5-year-old boy. She becomes a model prisoner, apparently converting to Christianity and helping care for ill prisoners--but in fact, she's slowly making connections that will allow her to wreak revenge on the man responsible for her imprisonment. The first half of Lady Vengeance, in which Geum-ja Lee's plans are laid and her victim captured, spins to and fro in time with dizzying speed, moving fluidly among multiple narrative tracks. But once the man is in her clutches, the movie takes a turn that proves more harrowing and more emotionally complex than the previous films in writer/director Chan-wook Park's "vengeance trilogy," Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance or Oldboy--and if you've seen either of those films, you'll understand what a feat that is. These movies have much in common with the revenge tragedies written by contemporaries of Shakespeare; ornate plots full of extreme violence and perverse sex that delve into the darkest--yet often most vulnerable--sides of humanity. For all its sensational aspects, Lady Vengeance observes the toll of vengeance on the revenger; there's nothing cheap or easy about it. This movie, even more than Oldboy, demonstrates that Chan-wook Park is one of the most vital filmmakers of our time. --Bret Fetzer
