Product description

Tell Me Something

From the Back Cover

A smash success of the action-filled, highly stylized New Asian Cinema, Tell Me Something is a serial killer thriller drenched in atmosphere and punctuated with moments of shocking violence. Korean cinema superstar Han Suk-gyu stars as Lieutenant Cho, a cop on the edge who, while under investigation for graft and mourning the recent death of his mother, is suddenly put in charge of a seemingly impenetrable mystery. Dismembered corpses are being found in garbage bags around Seoul. However, the surgically amputated arms, legs and heads are mismatched, rendering the victims nearly impossibly to identify. When Cho discovers that all the victims were once romantically involved with the same woman, Suyeon Chae (Shim Eun-ha) becomes the focal point of the investigation. Growing more suspicious of Suyeon, even as he becomes more entranced by her icy charm, Cho realizes that the secret to the horrifying murders lies in the carefully guarded memories of her past.

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2004
Because once this Korean masterpiece starts you will not be able to tear yourself away from this thriller ..... Interestingly enough the film has a dubbed English track, the dubbed sound is good and the English is pefect, but, unfortunately the voices loose some of their impact and it's pretty hard to be able to duplicate the sweet lilting voices of the young female stars ....

There are of course a lot of cultural differences that will be noticable immediately between the police work of these Korean detectives and the ones that we are more accustomed to with the FBI. The two police detectives don't really believe in 'backup' and they don't even have 'walkie talkies' ... If they call in they use their cellphones ... As well, you may see a task force room set up for catching a vicious pshychotic killer, but thats about it from there on in our detectives might as well have been private eyes working on their own like 'Dirty Harry' ...

The movie is complex, violent and shocking .. great or what ..... the viewer is immediately subjected to the suspense of the story and it doesn't let up till the very last minute ... literally ...

If this movie doesn't change you perception of sweet young Oriental girls that wouldn't harm a fly ... get a copy of 'Auditon' at the same time and, trust me, you'll probably never get into an elevator alone with one of these young beauties ... LOL

The DVD quality is superb ... sound.. cinematograhy all fabulous and first class .... definitely a keeper DVD ... Oh yes ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Lit in Dark Rooms
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2004
Well everytime I see a foreign film with subtitles I think, "I should learn many languages and become an adept and cultured sentient." Then I realize that I eat cheesedogs and enjoy them, I hate finery and am a bi-product of a miscalculated selfless love. That aside, I also think that things like beauty and the advancement of the senses do not occur in public spaces. Most things of such a caliber are lit in dark rooms and by people of private persuasions. But that has nothing to do with the movie.

It's about a serial killer who uses precision moves to foil capture and to befuddle the police, although in a straight-forward manner that also gives very much away. In other words the carrot is dangled out for a sniff, like in a Bugs Bunnyesque thriller, protruding from the groundhole, but whose carrot is it Sherlock? Bizzario's! Jah. You know how these things go. I won't give anything away, but suggest that if you have patience enough for subtitles and lite gore you will enjoy this dark-set film. The only question it left me afterwards was why in Asian films is it frequently downpouring rain? Must be H.A.A.R.P. Always believe in the conspiracy.

The eerie Korean thriller, "Tell Me Something", begins with a gory murder and keeps the blood-and-guts quotient running high throughout the film. It, unfortunately, fails to deliver much in the way of plot, preferring to rely on enigmatic gimmicks (the heroine, the cop's complicity in a departmental crime, the film's resolution) to tell this tale of a maniacal killer distributing mismatched body parts around Seoul. Korean star Han Suk-gyu is well cast as Cho, a detective going through all sorts of turmoil after the recent death of his mother, as well as being the subject of an internal investigation within his department. Before you know it, he's up to his neck in arms and legs and disembodied heads, none of which seem to belong to the same person. Eventually, Cho and his team are able to identify the male victims, all of whom seem to have once dated the beautifully mysterious Suyeon Chae (Shim Eun-ha, remote and a little out of it, and looking like she's seen the worst life has to offer). Inevitably, during his surveillance of Suyeon, Cho finds himself falling for her, even as the body parts continue piling up, and various shady characters move in and out of their orbit. Will Cho's attraction to Suyeon lead to his demise? Will he be able to protect the woman he desires or will she become yet one more victim of the prolific killer? Or does she wait for her lovers, like Sharon Stone in "Basic Instinct", with an ice pick stashed beneath her bed (never utilized, I might add, in this film)? The answers to these and other questions may be found in the finale of this twisting, turning film. Or they may not. The conclusion is such a mess that I had to watch it twice just to make sure that I thought what had happened was actually what happened, and I'm still not completely certain. To be sure, I enjoy the enigmatic films of David Lynch and the gleefully over-the-top theatricality of Italian giallos, but "Tell Me Something" is a film that seems to be rooted in the same universe as David Fincher's "Se7en", and, as such, is weirdly unfulfilling as it strives to retain this uber-mystery that seems unsolvable and too complicated to be believable; the last third of the film just feels inherently false after all the buildup. Director Chang Youn-hyun is definitely talented, and does a fine job presenting an atomosphere filled with dread and darkness, and is adept at putting his cast through their paces. All in all, with its beguiling start and complex characters, this movie was good but should have been better.

When people of medicine go bad - they really go bad, as they have all the skills, intelligence and tools to do the unimaginable. That is what makes this film reminiscent of "Silence of the Lambs" as surgically cut body parts start showing up all over the city and the police race against the clock to solve the crime. They narrow it down to a few suspects

and there is a double-twist ending as to who the real killer is.

It all ends with the the same ironic ending as "Silence of the Lambs" too. Good stuff.

This movie starts where "seven" leaves off and plunges into a gory tale with multiple plot twists. The sense of stillness and the slow scenes make the explosions of violence all the more shocking. There`s also a very subtle soundtrack which mixes classical piano with electronics. Excellent.

Yes, I think that this film is stylish and gripping. It has a pretty complex plot, though, which could frustrate some people. Perhaps a bit too 'clever' for its own good. I found that I needed to watch it again in order to fully understand what takes place.
