21. The Chaser (Na Hong Jin, 2008, South Korea) Inspired by the crimes of an actual serial killer, "The Chaser" tells the story of Eom Joong Ho, an ex-cop who is currently a pimp. A number of his "girls" seem to have disappeared recently, while they still owe him money, bringing him into a difficult financial situation. Subsequently, due to lack of "girls" he is forced to send the sick Mi Jin to a customer, despite her objections. However, he eventually realizes that the other women who disappeared, had a date with the same customer, Je Yeong Min. Believing that he "resells" them, orders Min Jin to inform him of the place he will take her. Nevertheless, when she arrives there, she discovers something far more dangerous than what Eom Joong Ho perceived. Na Hong Jin, in his debut, directs in a fashion that presents the spectator with just enough clues to keep him in constant strain during the film, not leaving him loose even for a moment. He accomplishes that by making obvious, almost from the beginning, what the protagonists should do to solve the case, providing however, convincing reasons for their

George Lucas continues Luke’s journey, heavily inspired by The Hero’s Journey theory of Joseph Campbell, in this second film. The most prominent of the step of The Hero’s Journey in this case is most likely the “Ordeal.” The “Ordeal” in many stories is the moment where the hero must confront his biggest fear or challenge and is one of the most central and essential stage of any Journey. () The film heavily influences this step with Luke’s scene in the cave on Dagobah and Darth Vader’s big reveal in the end of the film. The first instance of this step is when Luke goes into the cave and seemingly confronts Vader to reveal that the face in the mask is actually him.

The directors of The Devil’s Miner employ a filming style that allows the people of Potosi to have the loudest voice possible.
The Courtesans of the Noir Era In film noir and hardboiled literature, the femme fatales are one of the major archetypes of the genre. According to Ron Hanson, “If the women is the victim, it’s not really film noir.” This kind of woman manipulates men by any means necessary to gain power, a sense of independence, or just plain greed. Either way, this style does not display any sort of damsel in distress motif that previous audiences were used to. There is a digression from a loving and doting housewife to a woman that has power, but in this noir universe it eventually leads to the woman’s destruction.

"Manhunt" is the maestro 's return to his definitive style: the gun-fu, the heroic bloodshed. The master hasn 't directed a film of this style since "Mission Impossible 2", and if you exclude that cool Hollywood mess, it is since "Hard Boiled" that he hasn´t made a Hong Kong action film. Fans of the director and of Hong Kong action cinema have been waiting years for this moment to come, and it 's finally here. It is impossible not to have expectations with a new film directed by John Woo, especially when it is known that he returns to the origins that catapulted him to fame and popularity: Guns, explosions, frenetic action, slow motion, doves, motorbike-riding assassins and friendship.
