This is honestly my least favorite film in the trilogy. I still enjoyed it for the most part, but man the entire first two acts of this were kind of hard to sit through just because I couldn't really get invested in any of the characters, especially the main two which were equally unlikable pieces of shit IMO. Kang-ho Song is kind of the only one I thought was worth rooting for, but even his character felt pretty underdeveloped. To me the best part of this movie was easily the bit where Ryu goes after the organ dealers and you get some insanely gruesome and brutal scenes of violence which I think this movie needed way more of, but maybe that's just me. The third act definitely saved it for me though.
