2.5/4
"...the story soon grows weary of toying with the viewer's mind and begins prolonging the plot for kicks."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  A. J. Hakari

4/5
"Na Hong-Jin's feature debut is a bleakly frantic psycho-noir, furiously edited, ferociously performed - and despite allying itself to the serial killer genre so beloved in the west, it is distinctly Korean in its settings and references."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

3.5/5
"shifts its tone effortlessly between white-knuckle suspense and investigatory drama"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

C
"An impotent thriller about an insane serial killer, incompetent cops and an irritating overweight sweaty pimp."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

53/100
"It announces Na Hong-jin as a filmmaker willing to go to places that even most so-called horror movies would shy away from."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

4/5
"The Chaser is one of the better Korean films to emerge since Park Chan Wook's Oldboy."  The Horror Geek  Mike Bracken

4/5
"Uma obra madura e complexa que insiste em desafiar as idéias pré-concebidas do espectador do início ao fim."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

4.5/5
"This is expert filmmaking at every level, continually adding engaging subtext that touches on family pressures, blind self-interest and warped justice."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline
