I absolutely love this movie. I do find it odd, however, that dude didn't kill her daughter once she got convicted.

Also the call back to the dog in Old Boy is amazing.

Definitely the “nicest” of the three films and with the most likable main character, I think because she respects others’ feelings, and the collective decision-making unravels the impossible knot of vengeance in the first two films.
