Memoir of a Murderer | Rotten Tomatoes (2025)

Audience Reviews

Webb V It 's a tough story line to follow because it's so convoluted, twisted, and dark. In comparison it make Polanski's Chinatown look like a Dick and Jane reader. Am going to have to rewatch a few times to make sure nothing was missed because the details are passed out using a big ladel. Like a psycho dramas it flops back and forth between realities with no noticable anchor except for a face twitch here and there.It's one of the most Un-Korean, Korean movies I've ever seen. And what is it about psycho-Korean guys? Pure evil with a nice smile and polite manners.Only gave it 4.5 because the closed caption wasn't completely in sync with the on screen dialog, but it might have been the feed I was using (tubi.com). Yet another good reason to rewatch it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/24 Full Review Wolfgang G Memoir of a Murderer ist ein südkoreanischer Mystery Thriller von Won Shin-yun.

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/23 Full Review jjjjjj j A great thriller/mystery that reminds you that story's do not have to be the same stall plots retold over and over again but can still be unique and innovative. I tend not to like movies with unreliable narratives as I often just find it gimmicky and silly but this film uses it in a unique and interesting way that adds to the plot. Most notably I think in the end this film allows you to believe which ever story you want to believe. I also think there are a lot of themes in this book that no matter which story you choose to be true still resonant within the film. Independently of which is true the main character is still a victim of his own memory. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review william d This is an excellent mystery film, filled with twists and suspenseful throughout. Sul Kyung-Gu is terrific as the murderer afflicted with Alzheimer's, as is his antagonist in the film, Kim Nam-Gil. The anticlimactic scenes were a bit much I thought, resulting in a half star deduction, but still highly recommended.
