...was it that young soldier with smooth hands or someone completely different? If i read correctly the DNA results were inconclusive, but it seem all pointing at him.

Could not the young girl in the end go to police to create sketch of his face?

No it wasn't him, because the DNA didn't match, the message of the movie is sometimes you never the find the person who committed a crime, and we may never know who actually did it, and the kid saying he had an ordinary face represents that the murdered can be anyone and looks like a completely normal person. I love the ending cause it portrays the reality that not all murder cases get solved.

That was an excellent ending, Kang-ho Song just staring directly into the camera while a thousand thoughts race through his mind ... brilliant.

It only cost $2.8 million to make, I think Hollywood took a wrong turn somewhere.

So because murderers are ordinary people we should give up looking for them? I would expect asking her to provide details to make a sketch of suspect and looking through CCTV, they have his DNA after all, so it's not like they have no clue.
