Video:
Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance is presented in a widescreen aspect ratio of approximately 2.28:1, and has been anamorphically-enhanced for your widescreen-viewing acceptance. The overall quality of the image is quite pleasant, with solid color levels, deep contrasts, reasonable grain structure and smart image detail. I did notice some compression noise here and there, but overall the transfer was quite smooth and struck from a very clean print.

Audio:
The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1, as well as in a DD 2.0 track. Both the Dolby Digital and DTS tracks are rather impressive, with the DTS sounding more layered and dynamic. The film is mostly quiet and located frontstage, but there is effective and engaging use of the surrounds and LFE to aggressively open the soundfield when needed. Since the film is presented in its original Korean-language soundtrack, English subtitles are provided. However, be prepared for a few blatant grammatical goofs and spelling errors. These are very few and far in between, but they pop up. Nonetheless, this is a smart and engaging audio presentation of the film.

Extras:
There are loads of extras on this two-disc set. Unfortunately, all of them are in Korean with absolutely no English subtitles whatsoever. Fans who aren't up-to-speed in understanding Korean are basically SOL. That includes me, your intrepid reviewer. I can tell you that Disc One contains an audio commentary track, while there are a plethora of featurettes on Disc Two. The section entitled "In Process of Mr. Vengeance" had 30 minutes of featurettes entitled Dactylology, Star Review, Special Makeup, and Cameo Role. "My Boksu Story" has more featurettes and filmographies, but their titles are in Korean. I can barely write in English, so you'll have to check it out for yourself. Staff Interview contains what appear to be... wait for it... staff interviews, as well as cast profiles. Finally, the extras are rounded off with some storyboards, audio clips, photo galleries, and trailers.

Final Thoughts:
The DVD is a mixed bag... not so much because it's of mediocre quality, but because it's apparently of amazing quality - if you speak Korean. At least the film is subtitled in English, which is truly this disc's selling point. Here's to hoping that a version of this two-DVD set will become available for English-speaking fans. But as this is bloody unlikely, grab your multi-region player and give Sympathy For Mr. Vengance your undivided attention.
