shadowman123 I am a huge fan of foreign cinema and it is no secret that we are all going looking abroad for a good thrill or scare with the Japanese and Koreans leading the way, I mean if you want further proof then check out Battle Royale and Oldboy but unfortunately they have fallen short with this one. From the cover and recent reviews people have given this good reviews and I was very looking forward to watching this but unfortunately it just did not take off well enough for me. Tell Me Something is a gruesome tail of a lunatic that seems to kill people by cutting them up and mixing parts of their bodies together leading police on a puzzler rather than a wild goose chase. Leading the investigation of this is an officer that is being investigated him-self for corruption .... now normally Asian thrillers move on at a quick pace and we are introduced to our main characters and their woes as the film moves along at a nice pace but however this time round the film seems to take a very long time focusing on character development with a stubborn officer who is trying to suss things out between spots of doing a little bit of detective work ! The movie kind of trundles along a little to slowly and although thats not really a bad thing, it tries to make its-self bleak and but instead ends up becoming dull and the good use of camera angles don't help it out at all. However it does kind of redeem its-self as it does not truly rely on shock value but it kind of becomes easy to piece things together but then it becomes rushed towards the end with little or no explanation offered for all that. To conclude Tell Me Something is a bit like a Lamborghini Gallardo, for the out-side you want one, but then when you actually drive it you find out that it is no all what it was you would hope it would but because it was a Lambo you went along for the ride anyway! Thats how I felt about Tell Me Something, a thriller made by a nation which has a reputation for making great films but instead they just give us something very average which does not really seem to cut the mustard.TELL ME SOMETHING : 6.7 OUT 10SOME CRIMES ARE BETTER LEFT UNSOLVED!

christopher-underwood Begins in tremendous style and is very watchable throughout although one does begin to worry about a certain lack of clarity. I think the film is longer than it need be and is ultimately unable to deal with the deeper issues it alludes to. A tighter film would have meant we were on the edge of our seats throughout and, possibly more importantly, forced the director (or writer) to get what they wanted to say more simply expressed. Many have suggested there may be something, lost in translation and that is a fair point but my own feeling is that the film makers simply overstretched themselves a little. Having said all that it's a very decent film with plenty of blood, gore and surprises, plus its always good to look at.

Daniel Vazquez This film is quite interesting. Most of what I would like to say has already been said. It certainly isn't one of the best Korean movies I've seen.My main complaint is that the motivation of the murderer is never made clear. Perhaps this is my fault and I missed at the hints, but I kept on wondering why the murderer would kill these people and rip up their bodies. Still, it soon seemed quite obvious who the murderer would be (my wife guessed after about 20 minutes). And this was the largest problem with the film: the film is beautifully shot, well acted, well told, but you still can't work out the murderer's motivation or empathise with her.

HumanoidOfFlesh "Tell Me Something" was a big hit in South Korea and it's not a big surprise for me.Lieutant Cho,while under investigation for corruption,is suddenly thrust into a higher priority serial killer case.A mysterious killer is leaving garbage bags full off dismembered corpses around Seoul.With the amputated arms and legs mismatched,the victims are nearly impossible to identify.Some of the body parts found are soon linked to a beautiful woman played by Shim Eun-ha."Tell Me Something" is a grisly and eerily dark thriller heavily influenced by Italian giallos of the 1970's.The film features a deranged killer,a captivating mystery with plenty of red herrings and even a piece of art that figures prominently in the climax.It's stylish and offers a few very gruesome death scenes.The gore effects are fairly convincing and the film is filled with darkness and creeping dread.So if you are a fan of Italian giallos or disturbing Asian horror give this masterpiece a look.Highly recommended.
