Ripoff Report Verified™ REVIEW
EDitor's UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to RESCUECOM for its full commitment to quality customer service.
Ripoff Report's discussions with RESCUECOM have uncovered an ongoing dedication by the company to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect that the company will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any concerns. RESCUECOM listens carefully to client concerns and sees them as an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient as a company in the services offered and the support for those services.
RESCUECOM's CEO David A. Milman has informed us that his personal philosophy is to deliver computer repair and tech support that assures his customer's safety and security on the Internet is his mission in life.
There are so many dangers and scammers online today that only the best security system and technology partner can prevent identity theft and privacy invasion. That is why he founded RESCUECOM in 1997: "To be the customers trusted technology partner in a world full of dangers and overseas threats."
RESCUECOM software and technology development team is second to none. The systems and software, such as their registered trademarked SYSTEM ONE and iProtector, along with the RESCUECOM Internet Security Suite were designed from the ground up over the years to protect and secure RESCUECOM customers, their systems and personal information.
The management team understands only the best:
|U.S. Based Certified Level-3 Technicians
Unlimited Computer Support Subscription
Onsite in one hour
Rescuecom Internet Security Suite
|SYSTEM ONE Patented Protection systems (6,898,435 & 8,832,424)
Can assure our customers success with technology.
The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by David A. Milman during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward Rescuecom.
Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
Rescuecom is a computer repair and support company created by David A. Milman. Mr. Milman went on to describe his vision for the company, "Rescuecom delivers fast and flawless computer repair 24/7. My vision for the company is to be 'the' IT Support organization for people that do not have the ability to hire their own staff." Mr. Milman also delved into an explanation of their unique product, "our unlimited computer support subscription is only $29.99/month [which is] an unparalleled value in IT since it includes unlimited computer and technology support on up to 9 devices. All tech work is provided by U.S. citizens that have been in the IT field for over 10 years. Rescuecom calls our support techs Rescuecom certified Level-3 technicians because they are the best of the best techs available in the industry."
Most of the leads acquired by Rescuecom arrive through inquiries on their website. After the initial interest Mr. Milman continued with the typical sales process for a potential client, "once the consumer becomes a Rescuecom member, our technician connects to the consumer's computer and brings it up to spec as far as Windows/Mac updates [then] removes any malware and viruses, and loads iProtector and the Rescuecom Internet Security Suite. The customer then has the ability to open their own service calls either on our website in the 'My Account' section or on their computer through our patented monitoring and security system iProtector."
During the onsite interview, Mr. Milman was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Mr. Milman explained that most people who inquire about their services are in a "desperate state" due to the importance of computer functionality. Because of this, "typically they do not care about the cost because they are in trouble. While Rescuecom never takes advantage of this situation we do expect to be paid for our service. So the problems start when the customer is no longer in trouble with their computer and they then decide they do not want to pay or continue their subscription. This is the biggest complaint, where people do not want to stay a member for a whole year, even though we require they agree to it on a recorded line and we send them a confirmation email of what they purchased." If customers press the issue Mr. Milman will cancel their subscription. This method of customer service has been a success for Rescuecom, "one particular customer that this occurred with actually placed a complaint on the ripoffreport.com, and I addressed the issue even before I knew she placed the report on the website. She then updated the report to acknowledge my good customer service. This customer called about 3 months ago and asked to speak with me. We had a good conversation and she asked if she could continue with our service. She is a customer to this day." If Rescuecom issues a refund or cancel a subscription we follow-up with the customer to make sure the refund was successful, and that the customer is satisfied with their experience.
When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. Milman explained in detail the situation that led to the report, "this complaint is absurd. It's by an employee of BJ's wholesale named Ethan Kepler. In the fall of 2014, I received a call from the East Syracuse Police Department that Rescuecom was dumping trash in the BJ's parking lot. I told the officer that was crazy, and he directed me to the BJ's wholesale club manager. I went to the wholesale club at 11pm at night and confronted the Customer Service Manager Ethan Kepler, he was a very cocky 28 year old that insisted it was my trash. When I asked to see it, he refused and said it was 'evidence' I told him it was not ours. When I returned to my office later that night, I found a bag of garbage at my office door labeled 'Return to sender.' I then complained to BJ corporate management and Ethan was fired. That is when Ethan went on the online smear attack. That is where the complaint emanates from, he was never an employee, a customer or a vendor. He knew and knows nothing about Rescuecom and lashed out like a child." In order to assure future clients Mr. Milman went on to describe the several accreditations Rescuecom has attained, " I have been in the computer services field for 30 years. Rescuecom has been in business since 1997. I have a B.S. in Computer Science from Syracuse University. Rescuecom is a Microsoft certified partner since 1999. All Rescuecom Certified Level-3 Technicians have at least 10 years of computer service and IT experience." Mr. Milman concluded to following in regards to any post on Ripoff Report's website, "Most of the claims are by competitors, ex-franchisees or customers that did not want to pay for service. However, back in 2008 and 2009 when we were franchising, that time period represents half of the complaints on the ripoffreport.com site. Those people have been made whole even though they did not do business with Rescuecom. They did business with our franchisees, which I suppose does make me personally responsible for them and their happiness. I take full responsibility for any issues customers have and get personally involved whenever I find out about a problem."
When asked what type of changes they have made to honor their commitment to make things right with the customer per the request of Ripoff Report, Mr. Milman stated, " I am very interested in the happiness of our customers and have made it clear to our customer service staff that we have to make sure every customer is satisfied 100% and that we deliver kind, courteous, professional and expert services."
Rescuecom is pleased to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. Mr. Milman further explains by stating, " it's an honor. Ed is a brilliant man and I appreciate his acceptance of Rescuecom into his program. I am sure we will be working well together for years."
"My name is David A. Milman, CEO of RESCUECOM. I would like to thank you for taking the time to review RESCUECOM.
RESCUECOM is not only my company, it's my way of life.

The use of the best security system, the RESCUECOM Internet Security Suite has Parental Controls and a "Walled Garden" mode that blocks all child harmful websites."
RESCUECOM takes employee satisfaction seriously as well.

Milman created a system so advanced and unique that two patents 6,898,435 & 8,832,424 have been issued for delivering fast and flawless computer repair and support. Four additional patents are pending. The unique nature of the RESCUECOM patented service system enables the delivery of unparalleled satisfaction and security.

rescuecom ripoff! contacting customer service is like talking to a wall InternetSigned up on 4th September, computer locked up on the 10th. Called for service, waited one and a half day and got no response so I took care of the problem myself and wrote customer service at rescuecom to let them know I was unhappy and to please cancel the service on the 11th September. I got one response telling me that I had signed for a year and too bad; basically. They have not responded to any more messages from me and I still do not know what they are charging me for. I guess I was wrong in thinking that if you are unhappy with a service you have bought and cancel within a resonable time period (7 days) the company should honor that request. I don't want money refunded, just cancel the service(?) and stop charging.

Kudos to museum, library exhibit

Congratulations to the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library in Cedar Rapids for the opening of its exciting new permanent exhibit, "Faces of Freedom: The Czech & Slovak Journey," on June 15.
I was lucky to attend as well as be a participant in the day's program. Although I live in Wisconsin (I was born and raised near Anamosa), I always take great pride in my home state, its resilience, and the wonderful educational and cultural events it is always producing.
We can certainly add this one to the list.
Kudos to Gail Naughton and her staff.

Perfect Cell, a stealth platformer/puzzler from Mobigame, is now available from the app store. Combining a clever backstory with elements from a bunch of different genres, Perfect Cell hits the right tone in creating a unique and wholly enjoyable offering.
Perfect Cell Pros:
- Great graphics, reminiscent of a comic or graphic novel
- Good use of sound effects
- Unique yet intuitive controls
- Addictive, stealth-based gameplay through puzzle-like atmosphere
- Clever AI offers good challenge
- GameCenter integration for leaderboards and achievements
Perfect Cell Cons:
- Generic storyline
- Some stickiness with controls
You take control of Cell Zero, a cell discovered inside of a meteorite found deep in the ocean. Noting your unique properties, including unbridled aggression and rapid evolution, you have been locked inside a secret submarine base well below the Earth's surface. As you increase in size and become sentient, you decide to escape your captors by any means necessary. Using a combination of stealth and violent outbursts, you make your way through level after level, working your way through the labyrinth-like structures and destroying or sparing lives as you see fit. Each of the 35 levels contains open areas and small snake-like ducts through which you can pass. Barriers abound, which are activated and deactivated by hovering over a red light marker until it changes to green. Lasers and steam bursts act to injure you or push you in directions that you may not intend to travel.
Your health wanes as you are contacted by lasers or shot at by armed militants. If you can escape before your health meter depletes, you'll automatically regenerate to full health. Otherwise, you will perish and need to retry the level. You have no weapons, though you do have special abilities to help you through your quest. If you hold still for more than a few seconds, you turn invisible and become undetectable to humans. You can split yourself into multiple organisms to activate dual markers or divide and conquer your enemies. You kill using a dash attack, inflicting blunt force trauma that can easily maim multiple enemies at once. Later, you'll learn to program an attack, mapping out your path and unleashing your improbable fury on anything in your way.
Enemies become more difficult to subdue as you progress. You start out the game by attacking defenseless scientists who cower in corners when they spot you. Soon, you'll encounter soldiers with machine guns and elite soldiers who can only be killed by attacking them from behind. Levels get more convoluted and complex and enemies are more plentiful. There are prisms to collect and achievements to earn. Your time through each level is recorded, as is the number of people you kill. You can choose to play the game with the goal of killing everyone, killing no one, or making the best time, giving you fun challenges to enjoy. Each level takes just a couple of minutes to complete, with the bite-sized fun making it that much easier to justify playing "just one more level." It's highly addictive and exciting to dispatch your enemies in various ways. We've seen some brutal attacks that result in decapitations and loss of limbs. Some soldiers have been bisected by barriers. We've even had funny kills where the person is left standing as if they were still alive, propped against a wall. It seems there is always something new just around the corner.
Graphically, we really enjoyed the look of the game. It has sort of a living comic book feel to it, with great background imagery, nice lighting and shading effects, and terrific animations, especially your movements. Your body looks like a purple octopus with only three arms that appear to be swimming through the air as you move. The soundtrack plays ethereal music over the menus, while stepping aside and serves to create tension, and does so well. The controls are gesture-based and work well for the most part. Tapping on a spot will "call" the cell to that spot. You can also drag your finger around the screen, which causes the cell to follow your movements. Your kill move requires a fast swipe, though this doesn't always register properly. It is a minor complaint, but it can be frustrating when it doesn't work as expected. This move is also useful for breaking through weak barriers like glass or blocked passageways. Pinching out will split you into two. Your special programmed move requires you to hold your finger on the cell until the screen pulls out, then draw a path for the cell to follow. Releasing your finger triggers the attack. We weren't sure that we'd like them at first, but we adjusted quickly and feel that this method is very appropriate for the game style.
Replay value is pretty good, as you can always try to play any of the three ways we mentioned earlier. We anticipate playing through several times, as the game is just so much fun. GameCenter is used for global leaderboards and achievements. We have seen different aspects of Perfect Cell's gameplay elements used in other iDevice games, but none combines them all the way Mobigame does, and with gobs of polish to boot. Perfect Cell is $5.99, which some might think is a bit on the high side, though we felt they were in the ball park, especially since it's a universal app. For its unique controls, great use of stealth gaming, enjoyable kill scenarios, devious level design, and pick-up-and-play quality, Perfect Cell is worthy of our 5-Dimple seal of approval.
Perfect Cell Review,

August could prove to be a pivotal moment for energy and climate legislation as members return to their districts and listen to constituents about the fall agenda.
As summer enters its "Dog Days", scientific evidence on the impacts of global warming continues to mount. Yet, even after a major win in the House of Representatives, the fight for clean energy and new American jobs faces an uphill battle in the Senate — where well-funded and powerful special interests are hard at work trying to keep us tied to a dirty past.
The June passage of climate and energy legislation by the House of Representatives demonstrated that America's leaders are ready to move our nation forward to a secure clean energy future. They passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454), a bill that will create jobs, reduce the global warming pollution that threatens our nation's security and our children's future, protect our treasured landscapes, invest in clean, new energy technologies, and make polluters pay.
When the House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act last month, it unambiguously stated its long-awaited recognition that global warming is no longer a distant threat.
Winston Churchill would have applauded the effort of the legions of Wilderness Society voices who contacted the U.S. Congress in favor of action on the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454 — the Waxman-Markey energy and climate bill), which won a hard-fought victory in the U.S. House of Representatives this evening.
The House of Representatives made history today by passing the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454), a bill sponsored by Reps. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.). Bill Meadows, President of The Wilderness Society, released this statement upon passage of the bill.
The Wilderness Society's summer interns and climate staff joined members of Congress and representatives of labor unions, religious groups, and other environmental organizations for a rally on Capitol Hill this week to urge House members to pass the America
A few years ago I did a multi-day backpacking trip that took me through some spectacular terrain in the Glacier Peak Wilderness of Washington state's North Cascades.
On the second day of this 8-day trip, my small team of three left the beaten trail and hiked up Spider Glacier to Spider Gap and then down into an enchanting lake basin. The lakes, Lyman Lakes, are fed by nearby Lyman Glacier.

My site hasn't yet launched, but can currently be found parked at http://av5theapiaryconz.avatar.net.nz
After quite a bit of tweaking I've managed to place the widget in the footer exactly where I want it. But I was wondering if it's possible to tidy up how it looks. My username/display name features three times, including as a heading and before each tweet, and I'd like to get rid of the twitter bird icon and 'join the conversation' at the bottom.
Is any of that possible? I'm not quite sure which parts of the code correlate with each part of the widget.
Thanks in advance for any help!

What Xbox Services Are You Allowed To Offfer (us)

i dont think the argument against installing software for the "im helping someone steal games etcetc" argument is valid, because for all i know they are using the space to store games they already own or to store movies, music, etc. however i think that in order to get to that point you would have to alter MSs code, and thru the strange workign of the DCMA im sure they coudl find a reason to pin you. but people dont get permission from MS to write windows programs either so its still pretty up in the air isnt it? you are allowed legally to modify your xbox for personal reasons i believe. welling modchips is not illegal just as selling Catalytic converter-less test pipes isnt illegal. installin it knowing they will break the law with your services probably is illegal tho, but ignorance is bliss isnt it. dont ask why they need it, dont ask what games they own, etc.
if modchips were illegal this site would have been shut down. the software is still iffy so i think the site takes a safer approach by not offering it, which im fine with.

Its once you put an illegal bios, dash or game/move on it that it becomes illegal.
If you buy a pre-mod they come with the chip installed, but with the legal (cromwell) bios. Doing this is quite legal
Just dont be stupid and start charging for other peoples code, or games, movies or music "pre-installed".
Posted 07 April 2005 - 07:17 AM
I seriously can't imagine somebody is going to flash an illegal BIOS on a modchip.
Posted 07 April 2005 - 08:03 AM
What about an xbox with a bad hard drive. The only way to fix it is to chip it, so it's such that even changing a hard drive is "bad".. People should buy and support their consoles manufactures, because if not, it will meet an earlier demise (commodore computers ring a bell).. We used to have swap meets. Today they would get a paddy wagon. Anyways, so I guess the bottom line is..
XBOX with cromwell bios installed on chip ----> ok
Other than that, no.
Posted 07 April 2005 - 08:17 AM
Not really. With the DMCA out, it's all a gray area now. It is illegal to copy your own DVDs. And if you read into it, you can't record live TV. If you could, they would make Tivos with DVD-Rs in them. Oh, and if MS has there way, it will be illegal to modify your own computer or install "unapproved" software. They are working on it for the next version of Windows.
Having a modchip is illegal, even with no bios on it. It can be used to get around the encryption built into the TOSP.
Search for "sharpie dvd encryption" to see how stupid this has all become.
Posted 07 April 2005 - 10:10 AM
Search for "sharpie dvd encryption" to see how stupid this has all become.
What if you do NOT get around it, but simply run your own code from the start (Cromwell) and your own application (Linux)... you do not 'get around anything', but only use your own code, which does not contain the encryption-lines. This way, you can't even 'decrypt' or run code which still is 'encrypted' (Xbox Applications). This way: you do not get around anything; you simply head in another direction.
Last time I checked, the Xbox hardware you buy for $/ 150 is from you and you only. If you remove the MS-code from your hardware (After all, it is THEIR code on YOUR hardware! You do not modify it; you simply remove it.)... can't see why that would be illegal.
Edited by The Zep Man, 07 April 2005 - 10:13 AM.
Posted 07 April 2005 - 04:13 PM
Now we are just pushing this to the far extreme, but the DMCA still covers it.
Putting Linux on the XBox may be lighter gray areas. Your still removing or bypassing encryption on the TOSP, that's a no-no. And if you use a mod chip, then you could use the chip to bypass the encryption and copy XBox games. Big no-no.
It all depends on how far the legal guy want to take it.

Don't mind straying a little bit.. I checked your link to the TIVO DVD recorder. It would seem that you have to stay connected to a broadband connections. My question on that is, do they monitor and even possibly block you from recording certain content are able to see what it is you do record. I hate anything that needs a land/cable line plugged in to operate. Of course i'm sure it can be hacked and we're back to square one

Stem Cell Treatments: 6 False-Hope Warning Signs
6 Warning Signs continued...
Anyone still considering a therapy after checking all of the above can download the 26-item list of questions the ISSCR recommends asking. Ask a doctor or medical professional to help you understand the answers to these questions about the treatment, scientific evidence behind it, oversight of the clinic and practitioner, safety and emergency plans, patient rights, and costs.
"One of the notorious signs of an unproven therapy is the claim it will treat anything," Levine says. "A lot of people say we have stem cells that will seek out your ailments and cure them, whatever they are, anything from spinal cord injury to autism to heart disease . It is hard to imagine how a single therapy could really be beneficial for all of these things."
Stem Cell Treatments and the FDA
In the U.S., the FDA says "stem cells, like other medical products that are intended to treat, cure, or prevent disease, generally require FDA approval before they can be marketed."
However, treatments may avoid FDA regulation if the stem cells:
- Came from your body
- Aren't being tweaked to make tissue they don't normally make
- Are only "minimally manipulated"
Transplanting such cells, clinics argue, is a surgical procedure rather than treatment with a drug or biological product. Licensed doctors can perform such transplants if they deem it medically appropriate for a patient.
"It is a gray area," says Mahendra Rao, MD, PhD, director of the National Institutes of Health's Center for Regenerative Medicine. "If you make too many health claims, it is still illegal. But if you do it correctly and there is validation to your work and you make your claims carefully, it is a surgical procedure not regulated by the FDA."
Because it's a gray area, Rao says, "certain groups try to see what they can drive through this window."
The FDA is stepping up its inspections of U.S. stem cell clinics and defending its actions in federal court. However, people can still find doctors and clinics in the U.S. who offer unproven stem-cell treatments.
"This is a very confusing time for patients. They have two questions: 'Can I do it?' and 'Should I do it?'" Hare says. "If the answer to 'Can I do it?' is yes, patients automatically assume the answer to 'Should I do it?' also is yes. And that can be dangerous."

Love this Plugin. I have done a little bit of searching but I haven't found a solution.
I have some pages which the "Read the Rest" appears correctly after the text of the excerpt and others where it appears BEFORE the excerpt.
Example of the Problem and Correct:
I have done a little bit of testing, and it looks like the problem relates to when an Image or Hyperlink is the first thing on the post and not text.

I am having the same issue as serge417. The settings page loads without any css and it will not update my profile menus.
Here is a picture of the issue. I am using the plugin on a localhost site if that makes any difference.

Thank you very much for reporting this. Would you kindly send us the page source? (you can copy it and paste it in pastebin.com then post the link)
Thanks again.
You see basically the same thing I posted. There is not setting for this plugin on the backend and it does not work
Ok here is the src code for the settings page. It doesn't look like some of your hooks are working correctly. Or it could be that I am working in a localhost host.
@khuemann, where do you paste the code? thx in advance!
What do you mean? I pasted the source code on the pastebin website. Is there some other information you would like to know?
Thank you @khuemann, but the pasted code seems to be missing the HTML <head> part. Would you please make sure the whole page source is pasted? Thanks again!
That is the whole code. I double checked and that is everything. Im not sure what happens when I access the plugin settings but most of the fundamental wordpress functions stop working and the page source code doesn't render correctly when I access the plugin settings.
Oh wow, no wonder your page is messed up! We'll check what's causing that and will let you know as soon as we have a fix. Thanks a lot for your help!
Dear all,
We've just released our 1.3.3 update, which should fix the settings page issue!

They faxed me a contract that stated I was approved for a $4000.00 USD loan with an interest rate of 13% for 36 months, my first payment is due December 23, 2012 until December 2015. If my payment is ever late I have to pay 9.0% late fee.
I had no collateral so I had to send them the first three months ($405) in advance in order to get the $4000.00 I was approved for. The $4000.00 was suppose to be direct deposited into my account within 2 hours, but it wasn't.
I had to send them the money through money gram to a person named Glenford Dodd. I asked why and they said that he was from the american embassy and all transactions had to go threw him. This was November 25, 2012, it is now November 30, 2012 and I have not received my $4000.
I am now being told by Bryan Stevens at J. Worthington Direct Finance that they can not give me the money because I have bar credit and they are going to find someone that can give me the loan.
I told him that's alright and I want my money back and he said it will take 30 days to get my money back. I feel like this is a scam.

I started my
loan process last week from a phone call from Rachel Adams stating that I was
fully approved for my loan. 5 Year loan- 10% interest rate. I've been in
regular contact with a woman named Rachel Adams who seemingly is a nice girl. I
applied for a $15K loan, but because of my credit I was required to secure the
loan with 3 months of payments, totally $956.13. I secured my loan yesterday
December 3, 2012 and was advised that my loan would be in the "4:00 pm
batch". I signed the legal documentation and sent my ID and proof of
income to fax #:877-770-7068. I was advised to wire the money to Brian Smith,
because he is with the US Embassy and the only person who is able to receive
the phones. There was no deposit, so I called and spoke with Christine Stevens
who advised me that I missed the 4:00pm deadline and that my loan will be released
with the "6:00 pm" batch and I that at the very latest the funds will
be deposited over night and I will have the funds by Noon today. I didn't
receive the money at noon and called repeatedly, spoke with Rachel Adams...she
placed me on hold, but did not come back, so I hung up. I called at least 20
different times with 3 different numbers and have sent more than 5 or 6 emails.
Finally, a manager named Brian Stewart stating all is well with my loan and that I will receive my loan on Thursday and that he will call me Thursday morning, and the latest I will receive it is Friday. I'm hoping that I'm not a victim of a scam and that this money does come through. Here are the three numbers I dialed for my loan: 877-325-7918- general number; 876-279-3786- Rachel Adams; and 876-279-1901- Christine Stewart. I will update this response if I receive my money. Brian Stewart explained that I should communicate only with him at this time. He apologized for making me nervous and he gave me his personal number: 876-578-6180. If I do not receive my money by Friday, I will be requesting my "security deposit" back. Prayerfully, it won't come to that, because I desperately need that money, of course, if I didn't I wouldn't be willing to sacrifice my last dime to get it. I emailed Rachel Adams at: firstname.lastname@example.com and I emailed the general inbox at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

This is an extremely good film - highly recommended. It will not be to
everyone's taste, but if you are not afraid of thinking during a film
then you should find plenty to take away from this one.
Bad Guy is a film based on the central premise of a relationship built between what is effectively a hostage-taker and his hostage. What transpires is a stream of abuses, power-shifts, emotional turmoil, love, hate, violence, sex, and almost every other aspect of life. This is an extremely original story, well told, with fascinating characters that are extremely human... both the good and bad sides of humanity.
The production values are very high, great acting, direction, cinematography, script, music, everything is top notch.
Typically, Korean films are very much based in real characters, social issues, and have an earthy approach that humanises their films beyond those of most countries. Bad Guy is no exception... while it is violent, confrontational, and decidedly dark, it bristles with underlying emotion and shows life without the rose coloured glasses.
The characters are at times extremely emotional, and at others almost entirely emotionally void as they struggle constantly to keep their balance in circumstances that are spiraling around them.
This is not an 'easy' film, in that it does not hand feed the viewer, there are no 'Jaws' style music queues to let you know when to be scared. You will need to work out how to feel for yourself with this one, which is fairly rare in this day and age.
As said earlier, this movie is not for everyone, however if the concept sounds like something that interests you, then you should enjoy this film. If on the other hand you don't like the idea of watching a film based on the idea of a man forcing a woman into a life of sexual servitude, then stay well away from this film.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is what might be called postmodern naturalism. Director Ki-duk Kim
tells a brutal story without comment and without mercy. He reminds us
of some human truths that will make some viewers uncomfortable, and he
invites controversy.
First, two things: Spoilers to come, so if you haven't seen this movie you might want to stop reading now.
Second, if you've seen the movie only once and are scratching your head, you're not alone.
Here's what happens: Han-ki (Jae-hyeon Jo), a street tough pimp walking along in a South Korean city spies this very pretty and privileged college girl, Sun-hwa (Won Seo), sitting on a bench waiting for her boyfriend. The girl is everything Han-ki desires. He sits down next to her. She pretends not to notice him while she talks on her cell phone to her boyfriend. When she does deign to notice him (and his desire for her) she shirks back in horror at his dirty, lower-class presumption and gets up. Her boyfriend arrives while she throws ugly glances at Han-ki. Han-ki can't take it anymore and grabs her and forcefully kisses her as the boyfriend beats him about the head. Some soldiers arrive on the scene and beat the tar out of Han-ki. As a parting gesture, pretty girl spits on Han-ki as he is held by the soldiers.
That's "the setup." It's the kind of setup that cries out for revenge or at least a comeuppance, which is what I expected. Or perhaps pretty college girl and the bad guy will find true love and overcome their social differences. What actually happens is beyond expectation in a way that is likely to stun and totally engage the viewer.
Pretty girl is at a book store. She compromises herself (in the viewer's eyes) by tearing a page out of an art book and putting it in her purse. This can be seen as the fatal moral flaw that leads to her degeneration. Han-ki sees this. (He has been following her.) Near her on the book display is a fat wallet. Pretty college girl grabs it, looks both ways, and puts it in her purse. This is the fatal moral flaw leading to entrapment and a descent into hell. She hurries to the bathroom and in the stall opens the wallet and takes out the money. Meanwhile the guy who lost the wallet is told (presumably by the bad guy) that she has the wallet and is in the bathroom. By the time he gets there she is gone. He chases after her and finally catches her. He roughs her up, calls her a pickpocket, and then forces her to go to a loan shark and sign an agreement (with her body as collateral) for money that he says was in the wallet.
This might be called "the turn" as the setup takes on a startling twist.
Next Sun-hwa is forced into prostitution by Han-ki. She makes some feeble attempts to get away, but mysteriously has nowhere to go it seems, and anyway is too afraid to run. She realizes that she is going to lose her 21-year-old virginity so she begs her captors to let her lose it to her boyfriend. Han-ki and his fellow thugs mysteriously oblige. However, the boyfriend is confused and doesn't get the job done. They pull him out of the car, slap him around, dump him, and Sun-hwa is back at the showcase on the street. Through a two-way mirror Han-ki watches her lose her virginity to a forceful client.
Question number one: why doesn't Han-ki ever speak? Question number two: why does he watch her behind the two-way mirror instead of taking her himself? The answer comes later in the film when we do hear him speak for the first time. His voice is a high shriek. Guess what his unique problem is.
And then comes the resolution. Yes, this is a love story of sorts and yes they do fall in love in a way that is debased and seemingly fated. He's a pimp and she's now a prostitute. This works out since he is able to vicariously experience her sexually and she is able to thereby serve the man she loves. And together they can make a living.
There is also a supernatural element in the film that suggests that the story is part wish-fulfillment fantasy by Han-ki. His ability to beat up the other guys and survive knife wounds fairly begs credulity. During the course of the film he loses enough blood to supply a small hospital. And the scene where both he and Sun-hwa appear together on the beach as if by magic is more mystical than realistic.
Director Ki-duk Kim's message seems to be that animal passion will win out in the end, and that humans are, despite the facades they put on, just animals doing animal-like things in the human jungle, and deliverance comes only when one realizes his or her nature and gives into it. Ki-duk Kim makes us identify with the bad guy and feel that he and pretty girl are no worse or no better than anyone else.
In short I found this movie disturbing like something from, say, novelist Cormac McCarthy. I am thinking especially of his novel, "Child of God." That title is ironic in the sense that his anti-heroic protagonist really is, whatever we may say or think, or however bestial his behavior, a child of God, while Ki-duk Kim's title "Bad Guy" ("Nabbeun namja") is also ironic in the sense that Han-ki is by societal standards certainly a bad guy, but by naturalistic (or cosmic) standards no better or worse than the pretty college girl.
(Note: Over 500 of my movie reviews are now available in my book "Cut to the Chaise Lounge or I Can't Believe I Swallowed the Remote!" Get it at Amazon!)
"Bad Guy (Nabbeun namja)" is an earlier film of Ki-duk Kim that is
probably being released now in the U.S. due to the success of "Spring,
Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo
bom)," but fans of that visually entrancing parable should be warned
how very different this exploration of the depths of human nature is.
The style has some similarity in that there is no exposition and we have to connect images that tell a tale of two very different people over time. Context is everything as voyeurism keeps repeating along a sexual spectrum of men and women together -- to romantic or erotic or degrading or lustful or violent, full of obsession or love or hate or longing or disgust, whether in prostitution, a relationship, or rape.
A key context is emotions and degrees, whether by the man or woman, or mutual, or drained of feeling such that I'm not sure love has any meaning in this film. There's a recurring use of Egon Schiele's erotic art to make some kind of comparative point about a continuum of sexual images and their effect on the viewer.
The titular character is reminiscent of Quasimodo of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" fixating on Esmeralda if he were a psychopathic pimp in, I presume, Seoul's lurid red light district and played by the charismatic Jae-hyeon Jo, like an apolitical "Romper Stomper." I did get a little lost where he fit into the hierarchy of the yakuza-like gangster organization that controls the district, how much authority he has, and who was on top of whom to interpret their obsessions. Some of the encounters we see are presumably his limited fantasies as he miraculously recovers from various violently noble efforts to protect and reach out to the object of his affection that reminded me of the ambiguous ending of Jane Campion's "The Piano."
The film explores some of the same territory as the work of Catherine Breillat, but the context seems uneasily different when I'm the only woman in the theater and the director is male, perhaps because the central woman is always an object, even as she pitifully adapts to her various degradations, and even resists being freed from them. All the women in the film treat each other like the men treat them.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I saw this film shortly after seeing the same director's The Isle and
was much more affected by this production, although they are both
striking works. Like the earlier film, Bad Guy is a tale of obsession
between lovers who exist on the edge of human relations, and features
some disturbing scenes. There's a sado-masochistic thread common in
those Ki-duk Kim's films I have seen which some viewers will,
understandably, find controversial. The major characters are isolated,
one is tempted to say insulated, from humanity, and develop their own
fiercely peculiar interactions. There's the exploited lake girl (also a
whore) who tends the pontoon huts in The Isle, miles from civilisation,
and the murderer who seeks his hideout on the water. There's the
student held as prostitute, imprisoned in her booth, and the largely
mute brothel thug who falls for her, frequently stuck admiringly behind
his viewing glass. These are people apart from the rest of the world by
reason of misfortune or status, who hold our attention as they
eventually come together.
Unlike the animal cruelty and fish hook fetishism exhibited in The Isle, Bad Guy's principal talking point lies in the changing relationship between an unwilling whore and her abductors. Bad Guy's victim is 'hooked' against her will just as securely as are the fish in The Isle. Inveigled into prostitution after a tough guy develops a romantic fixation on her in the street, she gradually comes to accept her new condition in life, the advances of her captor and even grows to 'like' being in the arms of her customers. I use inverted commas for this word as the idea that a woman can gradually enjoy her forced acquiescence into moral degradation, and enter into a voluntary relationship with a tormentor, is debatable to say the least.
There's a scene in the film which neatly describes the dilemma. The thug spends his first night with his love, an unconsummated encounter after which she sleeps on the floor beside him. She has been intimidated, then reassured, he ardent yet constrained by his feelings. First thing next morning he rises, studies her room, and spends a moment on straightening a nail in her wall. Through his one way mirror set in the wall, he has previously seen her at her most pathetic trying, unsuccessfully, to hang up a garment. Clearly this brief DIY is a moment of loving thought, out of place in any black and white view of their peculiar relationship. In fact Bad Guy is full of moments of tenderness, aided greatly by the plaintive melody of the score and the intense chemistry between the two leads. One superbly staged scene is where the two kiss through the one-way glass, she unaware of his secret response to her longing, at least until his lighter flame belatedly flickers his visage into view later. Another is as she resignedly dons a trashy wig and applies thick lipstick. He looks on again in secret, aghast at her depression, unable or unwilling - to interfere. Far from being a vicious peeping tom, by this stage he is practically a protector, transfixed by an obsession, as a couple of times he even dashes in to rescue her from unwanted advances. Fresh from a brutal world, the mute is not violent to his ward, nor does he rape her, and by the end of the film his possession is less physical than it is emotional. Add to this on the one occasion he speaks the sudden sound of his high pitched voice, (vocal chords presumably damaged by a conspicuous throat injury) so aptly suggestive of a eunuch's speech, and the nature of his character can be seen quite differently.
Outside of this central relationship, one might nit-pick at less than satisfactory plot points. How the thug recovers so abruptly from life-threatening wounds for instance, or his spell in prison, during which legal processes seems to take no time at all (by reference to an extended fantasy is the usual answer, an occurrence which further undermines the allegations of misogyny). Or the girl's prompt location of the missing parts of the photograph, itself symbolic of her fractured relationships, beneath a considerable expanse of anonymous sand at the beach, and so on. (Ki-duk Kim's use of the shore line as an emotional 'no-man's zone' incidentally reminds one of the importance of such moments in Takeshi Kitano's oeuvre.) The overall impression however is of quite an achievement, and one which is perhaps more mature about the unpredictable nature of love and attraction than the director has been earlier. In short, Bad Guy is no bad film, and despite some misgivings about the moral premise of the piece, is well worth seeing.
This is a very entertaining film. It contains sex and violence.(Yes that's what I said).The themes are very dark and at the same time this is a very loving film.It is certainly a challenging film and strangely being set in South Korea has many European sensibilities.If you think the world can be explained in terms of black and white then this is not an easy film. However if you understand that the world you live in has shades of grey then here is a multi coloured chunk to digest.I liked the central characters and found them very believable.This film shows particular skill in having very rounded supporting roles. The lives of these people even when violent or mundane and self destructive are very easy to comprehend.It is the first film I have seen by this director and it will definitely not be the last.
This is not the best of movies, but I rank it high because it did it
for me. Though the characters are not really presented to the viewer,
they are developed through the movie by showing their actions. The plot
is not really important here, and people that cling to whatever
feminist or political agendas when discussing a movie are wasting
everybody's time. It reminds me of an old Italian movie, I can't
remember the name or actors because I've seen it when I was a kid, with
a mafia boss that falls in love with a woman, kidnaps her but wants to
charms her, rather that rape her. This is also about a generally
violent man who's attention is captured by a beautiful girl and he also
wants access to her soul, rather than her body.
The movie is full of contrasts and paradoxes, but what sets it apart is the atmosphere (I had my heart pumping a good part of the movie, without it being an action movie or anything) and the subtle way it reveals the deep needs of every character.
Its bad part, though, is that close to the end you keep expecting the movie to end and it doesn't. The slow pace of the movie doesn't help either, so a feeling of "is it over yet?" can easily set in.
I liked it, I recommend it to people who have the mood to see a psychological Asian movie about gangsters, prostitutes and the power of love.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I won't profess to be articulate writing comments about movies (in fact
this is my first one on this site), but I found this film wholly
unsatisfying and disappointing to watch.
The first 20 minutes or so actually promised a lot and I was intrigued. The central protagonist had a peculiar lack of lines and the college girls venomous retort after his first unwanted advance made you wonder who was really the bad guy.
However this all started to change in the contrived and unconvincing way in which she was coerced into prostitution. She lost her backbone, she spent more time sobbing and several inexplicable plot holes creep into the story. An unconvincing time distortion (for want of better words) works it's way into the story that I felt took away from the plot instead of adding depth to it. The writer may have been trying to be metaphorical, but in the context of the rest of the film, it was just out of place. And finally, the central characters silence I believe hamstrings the movie, unlike in a Kevin Smith movie where when Silent Bob speaks, actually has something profound to say.
By the end of the movie, I could not care for either the girl or the main character and the ending neither seemed appropriate nor inappropriate for them. I simply didn't care for them... let alone despise them.
This is one of my top 10 favorite films. The film has a fair amount of
violence and some "uncomfortable" scenes, but you never feel that any
scene is gratuitous. Each moment is part of the evolution of what it
truly means to submit - to love - unconditionally. There is that moment
in the film when the main actress finally allows herself to be led --
astray. A moment that may be hard for some to accept. Some have called
Bad Guy misogynistic. But I think Bad Guy is quite the opposite. You
might as well call the film "Breaking the waves" misogynistic. Kim
Ki-Duk understands that to show a female character realistically you
must be prepared to show her in all her forms, even the ones that we as
women may be ashamed to admit to. What woman hasn't done something
stupid and regretful for some man? How far are you willing to bend
before you break to another's will for .... Love or just the
possibility of love. The film Bad Guy is only a matter of degrees. You
may think that as a woman you would never make the choices Sun-hwa
makes in the film. But I say "Don't ever say never... because the first
rule you will break will be your own"... But their is a certain amount
of culpability that is shared between Han-ki and Sun-hwa in the film. A
demand to lead and a willingness to be led are all that are required.
In the end this film is a love story. An unconditional love that requires you to love not in spite of your faults and weakness but because of them. Jae-hyeon Jo's performance is one of the most mesmerizing every captured on celluloid. And almost done completely without dialog. Which I didn't notice until the 3rd time in a row when I had first watched the film. It doesn't hurt that he is super sexy and easy on the eyes too. ;) The film is further enhanced by an exquisite soundtrack. Etta Scollo's "i tuoi fiori" may have been selected by chance but you would never have noticed. The film's climax is like watching a hot pan of oil just before it falls off the edge of the stove. That timeless moment of indecision - when the move to rescue becomes more dangerous than doing nothing at all.
Beauty and the Beast was an original tale written by a French author in
1756 and is considered the gold standard for "unusual" love stories.
(The best movie version of the original story was also done by a French film-maker and reviewed here by this writer -- La Belle et La Bete) I am guessing that if you go back far enough you will find many versions of equally twisted love stories through history, because love at its core is not always the stuff of Valentine cards.
This extraordinary film is about love, it is also about justice, it is also about impulse control.
It also gives a whole meaning to the term "unrequited love." I recommend it but suggest you leave your expectations at the door. Even the publicists for the film seem to have got it wrong -- the artwork for the DVD suggest a seamy sex movie and in fact that approach is completely wrong.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Director Ki-duk Kim has done it again. With his beautiful human stories
like Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and 3-Iron, he has come up with a
very human story of a different sort.
One of the most incredible and searing performances I have seen in years by Jae-hyeon Jo, as Han-ki, the Bad Guy, and almost totally wordless. His eyes tell as much about the way he is feeling as any words can. The raw human emotions are amazing. Watching Sun-hwa go from the most innocent girl into the call girl that she becomes makes your heart break but then watching how she begins to feel about the Bad Guy at the end tempers this a little. And that ending, with that traveling den of iniquity makes you feel both sorry for the two and at the same time you feel that these two people have found something that they have been looking for. Once again an Asian film maker ends a film realistically unlike American film makers who always go for the happy ending which would have ruined this story. I do hope that no American film maker decides to remake this film

Students, ranging in age from six to eight, learned an important lesson for good health that we all should practice: thorough hand washing.
It was one of the many safety topics stressed at the Fifth Annual Summer Safety Shakedown, sponsored free of charge by Rush Hospital.
Registered nurse Pat Clark talked about the reasons why clean hands can help keep you healthy.
"The cold germ like any other germ is spread by touch," said Clark.
"And it's on any surface. So hand washing is the most important thing we do, because if we cough into our hands and not wash and then we touch something, then we're spreading our germs that way."
Clark showed why appearances can be deceiving. She sent several children to the sink to wash their hands and asked them to do a good job, rubbing liquid soap into their hands for at least 20 seconds.
Then she put their hands under a special light to see how they did. Purple spots indicated the presence of dirt, germs, or bacteria, even after children had washed their hands.
"Wash them when I get back from outside and doing stuff," said Cody Bonner, describing what he learned.
"We have to be careful. Touching an elevator button, opening the door to a restaurant, opening the door at the mall, picking up packages," said Clark. "There are so many things. Everything we touch has been touched by someone previous to us and we don't know who that was or what they carry."

Fair Haven man denies sex chargeMay 07,2013Fair Haven man denies sex charge
A Fair Haven man already facing criminal sex offense charges pleaded innocent Monday to three additional charges alleging sexual acts involving an 11-year-old girl.
According to court records, Brandon Ellis, 18, answered to two felony charges of lewd and lascivious conduct and one felony charge of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in jail.
In an affidavit, Vermont State Police Detective Michael Notte wrote that investigators with the Special Investigation Unit in Rutland, which handles sex crimes, received a report from a 13-year-old female who said when she was 11, Ellis exposed himself, wanted her to touch. The girl told police she did not say anything before because her family trusted Ellis and did not want to ruin it.
Ellis was arrested in April. At the time of his arrest, Ellis was out on court-ordered conditions of release pending sex charges including sexual assault and lewd and lascivious conduct that police said occurred at the same time as the new charges.
On Monday, Ellis was again released on conditions of release.MORE IN This Just InPolice said a Rutland man knocked out another mans teeth. Full StoryWEST PAWLET Pancake-breakfast fundraiser season will kick off Sept. 11. Full StoryOmya is hosting an educational tour at a Middlebury quarry.
