There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Sunflower, a story about a 30-something gangster getting released from prison and trying to avoid sliding back to the thuggish underworld is a bit surprisingly not so much about being a gangster as it is about importance of family and forgiveness.As Korean cinema generally is, Sunflower is pretty heavy handed and syrupy when it comes to melodrama, though I'm personally one of those who forgive and even enjoy the slightly campy tear jerking occasions. Actors deliver a solid, though not particularly memorable, performances. Cinematography is also fine.The most obvious weakness in Sunflower is the predictability - you can see the conclusion of the movie coming from miles away and it plays out just as I expected it to play. Either way, a decent, watchable Korean flick to spend two hours with, no disappointments or broken expectations there.

I was totally confused after watching this extra ordinary movie of its genre. I was hoping a gangster movie with cold blooded action choreography but turned out to be sentimental & a powerful drama.Sunflower is a story of Tae-shik, a former gangster who is released on parole visits a sunflower lady and her daughter and trying to lead a normal life. But things were not good as he expected. How he evades all the obstacles forms the whole story.The Script and Screenplay were too good and was well executed. Even though the movie was slow paced but was registered with our mind and doesn't allow us to take our eyes away. Sunflower is a bag of mixture of emotions. And in the end, the mass action scene was also well choreographed.Rae-won Kim delivered an awesome show as Tae-shik. And the role played by the mother and daughter was also brilliant with their performances. The villain was not up to the mark but did okay. An Emotional Drama with a pinch of actionMy rating: 7.9 on 10

I think this film is under rated.As somebody who has done time in Asia and come out, i get the level of acting the lead role diplays. His body language is classic ex con.Even the early fight scenes show blocking skills but no retalliation in a way hat took intelligent study. Or an actor that got into his role. Admitedly the daughter role iscast a bit shallow but that not acting error thats direction or script re writes I guess.Its not subtle but neither was Will Shakespeare. This film is up with Breath and Chingoo. One of the best films I have seen in quite a while. coming from somebody who watches way way to many filmsWatch and judge for yourself.Somebody has made the effort to adjust the genre.

Tae-sik, who cleansed up the neighborhood back alley with his bare knuckle after dropping out of high school, is released on parole. The once sacrificial sheep of Tae-sik's friend Min-seok has become a detective and Tae-sik's henchmen friends have turned on each other's back. As if have forgotten the old days he shared with them, Tae-sik only does what he wishes to do, which was written down on his crumpling small scrapbook.Tae-sik finds a warm shelter in the small neighborhood food joint 'Sunflower'. Tae-sik tries to live a quiet new life with the lady who runs the restaurant and her daughter, Hee-ju.from the second half onwards the movie becomes more and more melodramatic and bursts of violence is thrown in every now and then. A little bit more common sense would have been desirable."Haebaragi, Sunflower" can't evoke the tears that it was actually expected to deliver.
