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.

Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play. Korean Director Park Chan-Wook brings a dark and disturbing film that enters into pretty scary and possibly taboo territory, the organ transplant black market. A deaf mute is desperate to find a kidney for his dying sister, but has no money to pay for it. He and his terrorist girlfriend decide to take matters into their own hands and kidnap a business man's daughter, unaware that they are entering into a highly dangerous situation in a world of complete apathy and merciless violence. The three worlds of terrorism, business and murderers all have striking similarities. The violence in this film is a stark contrasted to Chan-Wook's beautiful filmmaking. Age Rating 18
