Bad Guy Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Hank Sartin
The audience is subjected to a series of emotional contortions, encouraged to experience them like a voyeur, and then scolded for doing so.
Film Scouts
Jason Gorber
It's impossible to recommend this film to a general audience, but I would think that the bleery-eyed viewers like me who populate the fest at times like this would eat a film like this up.
Long Island Press
Prairie Miller
After the experience of this down and dirty South Korean psychological thriller, park benches may never quite seem the same.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's all distressing, superficial and caveman-like in its amour fou.
Panorama
Jean-François Vandeuren
Kim Ki-duk nous offre qu'un simple exercice de style se concentrant uniquement sur sa prmisse de dpart sans se soucier des lments extrieurs au rcit.

Jesse Paddock
The plotting keeps getting away from Kim as the story progresses.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
I was confused and discomfited by Bad Guy , but I loved it too.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
It's difficult to watch and even more difficult to understand, but the intriguing material is generally well-crafted.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
The film is filled with lovely images (Kim studied painting in France), and ultimately becomes, against all expectations, quite moving.
L.A. Weekly
Chuck Wilson
One can't get out of the theater fast enough.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
So vilely misogynistic does the film appear at first glance that it's no surprise it hasn't been previously released here...
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
Uncompromising, unpleasant and emotionally brutal, this twisted love story of emotional bondage is oddly compelling.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Its international reputation seems difficult to justify.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Really, who needs a bad guy who's this guilty about being bad?
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Becomes more and more confused, unpleasant and preposterous.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Kim Ki-duk does a bizarre riff on the twisted macho ethos of abusing women until they learn to love you.
New York Times
Ned Martel
Mostly distressing and occasionally compelling, as Sun-hwa, the young student, becomes ensnared in a prostitution ring.
Variety
Derek Elley
Though it goes on exactly a reel too long, Bad Guy reps the most emotionally satisfying pic to date by Korean iconoclast Kim Ki-duk.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Bad Guy, one of the seven films in Kim's fascinating back catalog, is another kind of cocktail -- simple, bitter, served straight and in an unwashed glass.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Realism isn't the focal point of Bad Guy-misogynistic male power fantasies masquerading as dark, dreamlike treatises on fate and love are.
