LAND OF NEW MOVIES

Rainbow Eyes is one of many mystery thrillers released in 2007 in the wake of the box-office success of such films as Return, Shadows In The Palace, Seven Days, and Our Town. Director Yang Yun Ho (Holiday, Fighter In The Wind) steps behind the camera to tell a disturbing tale surrounding a string of murders and the manhunt for an elusive serial killer. Kim Kang Woo, who won both critic and audience approval with The Railroad and Le Grand Chef, returns to the silver screen to play a harried homicide investigator who struggles to make an arrest as the murderer insidiously masks his own trail. Playing Kim's partner is Kim Min Sun (A.F.R.I.K.A) who portrays a level-headed investigator with a razor sharp intuition. As the plot thickens, the identity of the serial killer is further shrouded in mystery and everyone becomes implicated in the murder case, including the man in charge of the investigation. Using state-of-the-art special effects and stunning camerawork, Rainbow Eyes captures every drop of thrill and suspense in the hair-raising chase which ultimately spirals toward a shocking revelation about the killer's true identity.
When two cases of murder with identical crime pattern take place at a sports complex, homicide detectives Jo Kyung Yoon (Kim Kang Woo) and Park Eun Joo (Kim Min Sun) are called in to investigate the matter. They soon learn the history behind the two victims - both are believed to be military buddies who were charged for assault a decade ago. Suspecting revenge as a motive, the police zoom in on the victim of the assault, Lieutenant Lee Yun Seo. But the investigation reaches a dead-end, when they learn that their wanted man has been missing in action after suffering from fits of delirium and attempting suicide approximately ten years ago. Even the suspect's mentally stricken sister is clueless of her brother's whereabouts. While the pressure mounts on the police to crack the case, the killer strikes again - this time the victim is the third offender involved in the same assault case. But the more the police target Lieutenant Lee as their prime target, the more disturbed detective Jo becomes of his own past secret. Eventually, he launches his own investigation, catching his partner's suspecting eyes. As he delves deeper and deeper into the case, he uncovers further secrets that lead to an unspeakably shocking conclusion. ~from yesasia~
