Memories of Murder
South Korea 2003
In a word: Injustice
Between this and Silmido, 2 based on fact stories from South Korea, I have little confidence in justice in that country. Similar to US films like 'The Thin Blue Line', and UK films like 'In the Name of the Father'. Memories of Murder is based on the still unsolved rape and murder of several women. Several of the officers investigating seem more focused on beating out a confession of anyone who has a link to the case, than with finding out the truth. This is a look at officers under stress who vent with violence. Overall the film is engaging and worth a viewing.
Why see it? You want to test your rock solid faith in police justice
