But what makes the film great is its ending. The audience is constantly asked to 'look the characters in the eyes' and reassess what they're seeing. And so it is the way the film's characters are constantly in a state of moral flux that makes 'Memories of Murder' so exciting. Detective Sae Yoon, himself a 'by the books' cop, eventually becomes a violent, loose cannon, determined to throw away rules and regulations based on a hunch, whilst Park, the very cop who consults shamans and witch doctors and stages false confessions, becomes the film's voice of law-abiding righteousness. An effeminate loner may be the rapist, but DNA samples prove otherwise. A local pervert seems like the killer, but is actually a caring husband. A mentally ill kid seems like a likely suspect, but is actually not. This notion of reassessing what our eyes see, is constant throughout the film. The juxtaposition between the way the two men handle the film's first two murders forces us to re-evaluate our perceptions. Maybe Park wasn't a hotshot cop after all. In seeing how a methodical, clever and genuinely skilled detective like Sae Yoon handles his job, the audience is forced to reconsider their views of Park. The way Park handles an interrogation is contrasted with how Sae Yoon handles an interrogation. The way Park handles the film's first crime scene is contrasted with how Sae Yoon handles the film's second crime scene. The film's second act is thus a repetition of the first act, Sae Yoon re-enacting all the scenes that we just witnessed Park do. His name is Sae Yoon, and he's been assigned to help Park on his case. At this point the film introduces another detective. He's deeply superstitious, relies on fortune tellers, believes in hunches, and is highly insecure.

Indeed, he begins to come across as a bit of an idiot. But 20 minutes into the film, and our faith in Park begins to crumble. We assume that Park has picked the right guy. Park looks deeply into each man's eyes, but before he gives his answer, the director cuts to black. Early in the film, for example, Park's commander points at two men at the far side of a room and asks Park to pick out the criminal. Joon-ho Bong, however, repeatedly questions Park's abilities. He's a hotshot cop, hardworking and determined, who thinks he can spot a criminal simply by 'looking into their eyes'. Here a murder takes place and detective Park Doo-Man is assigned to the case.

A police procedural, the film's first act flows along conventional lines.

A movie which will be on your favorite lift forever.Joon-ho Bong directs 'Memories of Murder'. A cop with less known background which is civilized and honest to his job and then loses his control over the event. Sang-kyung Kim, also gave wonderful performance. He brings all the humor and then the intensity in the movie. His portrayal of an aggressive cop is top notch. Kang-ho Song, is the best thing in the movie.

There would not be any department or field this movie could be less then great at. Another scene involving the train accident is also placed right. The chase seen from the woods into the village and then the factory site is very thrilling.

The suspense is very strongly kept through out the movie and there is a ground breaking background score to lift it to new heights. Both of the lead cops are opposite to each other and then the shift in their personality to take each other's place. There are many flavors which work because of the terrific acting jobs everyone has done. At times it would seem like reading an old novel and at times it would seem like watching a nemesis film. From the publicity posters to the editing, writing and acting this movie is a thoughtful work. It's a movie without any ending and the one that attaches a hook to you brain and won't let it go. From funny to hilarious and then dramatic, emotional, sad and finally shocked. A piece of art which has everything one goes to cinema for. From the publicity posters to A total knockout film.
