I saw the Devil (2010)

The movie is about a serial killing psychopath and how a secret agent takes revenge on him. The serial killer generally targets young girls, rapes them and kills them brutally. He does the same to the secret agent's pregnant fiancee. The entire police force is in shock.

The secret agent takes leave from the force for 2 weeks, follows the killer around using GPS and a mike and uses the most brutal methods to extract revenge on the killer who doesn't mellow down till the very end.

Hits
  • The 2 lead actors are menacing in their own way. While the serial killer is manic the hero is cold blooded. Both of them are relentless in their pursuits.
  • The thriller is well made. Location wise, lighting wise and the other aesthetics. 
Comments
  • Too gory and bloody. Quite sick
  • There is one highly explicit rape scene
  • The movie is quite slow moving. Could have been crisp. The revenge saga is long drawn out.
VERDICT
Decent serial killer movie which could have been crisper and less gory.
