Critics consensus

“A frantic and taut Korean serial killer thriller. One classy, if bloody and messy, gut wrencher of a movie.”

I've more or less had it with this stuff, but the film is distinguished by the grubby velocity of his foot chases, and the effectiveness of its craft (not to mention the unglamorous resolution of at least one character's fate).

Easily the best cop thriller since The Departed.

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 28, 2010

The Chaser is an expert serial-killer film from South Korea and a poster child for what a well-made thriller looked like in the classic days.

An exemplar of the cat-and-mouse genre.
