Missing You (2016) User Reviews

Under the radar

[Leofwine_draca · 8/10 · 28 February 2021]

I'm a huge fan of South Korean cinema, particularly the classics like I SAW THE DEVIL and THE YELLOW SEA, so I was intrigued to see an under-the-radar batch appear on Amazon Prime. These films are barely marketed, poorly blurbed and MISSING YOU in particular is saddled with a bad title that makes it sound like a romcom. But the surprise is that this tense, twisty-turny serial killer flick is every bit as good as the better-known Korean classics in the west. It follows a serial killer who is sentenced and released 15 years later, and the ramifications of that release. Bloody shocks and multiple murders follow, along with the usual satire and great performances. The director only did this one film but handles his task adroitly, with great thrills and action and intriguing plotting throughout.

Another revenge story

[Misss25 · 7/10 · 15 April 2021]

I won't say I just loved it but it was pretty good. I felt some points are too exaggerating. Like how could a serial be released after serving only 14 years? Really!!

He killed almost 7/8 people including a police chief .When he released, someone started killing people the way he had killed people. So,cheif friend suspects him and started monitoring him. Though evidences prove, he didn't killed those but the new chief coundn't let him go. He just kept saying, he is guilty guilty without any evidence. On the other hand, the cheif daughter whose father was murdered, was doing all these killing to frame him for taking her revenge. Seriously ! How can a 20 years old girl can murder 4/5 people like the way serial killer did 14 years ago. Somehow she also frame him for her own murder. Thus he is sent to jail.

I like the story but it was too much to handle. There is no much suspense as all scenes are shown when she did all those killings. If it was shown at the end, it would be much better than it is now.

A grim ride

I've seen quite some thrillers / mystery / crime and it's hard to pin point a movie which manages to provide something new to this genre. Hands down, missing you does so on multiple levels. The true strength is the upmost twisted, crazy and tense woven storyline! It's a grim ride - hard to watch plenty of times, pitch black and shocking to the core. I've been looking for some sort of Seven successor (as this movie is quite often referenced as a northern star...) Missing you did for me this job. It never copied (only one scene is a nod to the silence of the lambs in my POV...SPOILER: ambulance car) but the rest is original, captivating, bleak and with an emotional finale which might be engraved in your memories for some time.

A movie to watch who loves unusual ending

[raihantapu · 9/10 · 29 December 2018]

Which movie that you feel is the most underrated movie out there? here it is. strange thing is very few people know about this movie. Even there is no review about it in imdb when i'm writing this. Took Almost 20 minute to find subtitle. Started watching as only a time pass movie and it did something unusual ending which was beyond my expectation. Didn't thought this movie would turn out into a masterpiece. A movie to watch who loves unusual ending.

Killer ... of a movie

[kosmasp · 9/10 · 1 November 2022]

No pun intended - actually you could say killers too (or is it two?) ... more puns for you. The movie itself is not really that funny though. It is more a serious affair - I reckon if you have a weird sense of humor you may find certain things funny ... in a dark way that is.

If you are fan of Korean movies, I do not have to convince you - you already know that South Korea produces some really good movies. And this is another example of that. Sensibilities in some instances and certain things (the hitting especially) may feel foreign (no pun intended) ... but they add to the flavor of the movie ... and the stories? Well very well thought of and written ... and acted! And all the other things too of course.

Good production value, interesting characters - and twists to make your head spin. And I am being serious - still not everyones cup of tea of course ... but if you are not too sensitive, the movie will please you ... or whatever you would call it.

Fantastic Plot with One of the world executions (Literally Mean it)

[itumaesh · 10/10 · 25 December 2021]

Absolutely fantastic thrilling moments - Innovation in the way of people executed here - Plus this character is given to a female and she doing this role is a great value add. Climax is stunning - Amazing background score - But what amazed me is the Actress is really lucky to have been opted for this role plus she has shouldered the burden for this movie to such a great extent - Her IQ skills were well maintained in terms of perfectly executing the sinisters. - First Class Movie. Watch it.
