THE CHASER is an expert serial-killer film from South Korea....The film's structure is relentless in maintaining suspense.
Chicago Sun-Times
THE CHASER evokes both film noir, in its conflicted hero and its moody shots of nighttime Seoul, and America's most influential 21st-century cultural export, the television police procedural, in its straightforward storytelling.

Rating: 3/4 --
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).

Rating: 2/5 --
With its erratic pacing and sadistic hero, what starts as an intriguing procedural quickly descends into a tenuous game of cat-and-mouse that is buoyed up by frequent gut-churning violence.

Rating: 4.5/5 --
You're still going to get the chases, the violence, and the dark tone you would expect, but all of that is rooted in reality and drama making The Chaser come very close to the neo-noir genre.

South Korean first-timer Na Hong-jin offers nasty thrills, manic foot chases and some genuinely subversive riffs on the police procedural.
