- Synopsis
- Lady Vengeance tells the story of Kum-ja, a woman who takes revenge after serving 13 years in jail in place of an evil man who abducts and kills a 6-year-old boy. Two thirds of the story shows how Kum-ja gets involved in the murder case and how she prepares for the revenge. Choi Min-sik (Oldboy), plays the villian Mr Baek. It combines the theme of kidnapping from Sympathy for Mr Vengeance with the imprisonment of Oldboy. This movie will be different from the previous two movies.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A film with the capacity to both sicken and delight, a dark thriller with an obsessive, shocking story, shot in gorgeous images that heighten the gruesomeness and horror of what they reveal"
-
"While the film never really achieves the emotional resonance to which it clearly aspires, its sheer inventiveness and bravura visual style deliver plenty of entertaining moments along the way"
