Thirst (2009). This movie was another top notch flick by Chan-wook Park that just seemed to lack something. While i found every scene to be executed perfectly, and with great acting, nice cinematography, great direction, as well as plenty of sex and gore, i still found myself wondering how much longer it was going to be. The last third picked up a bit in interest and at least held my attention until the end. The ending, while taking a little too long, was pretty decent. Thinking back, it seemed that movie had everything but that subtle force that drives a movie forward. Still a must see for any fan of Asian cinema, this had so much potential but it somehow lost its punch. Ashe.
