The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

WOW!! It's rare that I can watch a movie and still feel so emotional after it's over. My tears are still streaming at the love one brother had for another!! This is a MUST SEE for all. This movie is not just about war.....the storyline between these brothers leaves me speechless and very emotional. What a great job to the director, cast and crew! Great overall movie!! Also, I am an American military veteran and was stationed in South Korea in 1997 (Osan Air Base). I've been to the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and what an eerie feeling it was to stand inside of that small building next to those North Korean soldiers knowing that if I stepped onto the other side of that table I'd have a serious problem per our briefing.

One of the best war movies I have ever seen. Amazing, visceral and heart wrenching!! This is a must watch!!! Amazing screenplay and acting.Don't Expect any feel good factor here. Director portrays war just as it is, No propaganda. I was moved to tears by the end of the movie. Goes to show that there are no winners in a war. The country may win or lose but the people caught in it always lose.I sincerely hope this is not based on a true story cause that would really break my heart.As far as Saving Private Ryan is concerned, I would never say its the same. they both exposed the horrors of war, but this one goes beyond that and shows what the families who are left behind go through as well.

Firstly, I have seen most of the so called greatest movies ever, which includes war movies as well. But only this movie shows one of the best, most realistic and emotional war scenes ever filmed. And YES, Saving private Ryan is not even 10 percent of a good movie when compared to this, if you think that's the only good war movie. This film shows the war scenarios in the most amazing way. You don't have to believe my words for it, just watch it one time and then you gonna remember it forever. Its a fools illusion that only US made films are good, come on US, try and learn some true human feelings from this, because you need it. Love to the team who made this Epic !!

Brutal, unflinching & absolutely devastating, Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War tells the story of two brothers who are forced to join the army to fight in the front at the outbreak of the Korean War. The film puts up a gruesome display of combat on the screen while also capturing the deterioration of these siblings' relationship as the film progresses which ends with a heartbreaking conclusion.Superbly directed, especially the battle scenes, the film is unforgiving in its depiction of the horrors of war and presents it with supreme quality. The inspiration comes from many war films of the past but it still maintains a uniqueness over its content. The camera-work is very dynamic while editing keeps the drama flowing smoothly. And last but not the least, the soundtrack is surely one of the best you can find in a war film.On an overall scale, Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War is an explosive, potent, powerful & heartfelt tale that keeps the story of these two brothers its first priority throughout its runtime and although the performances from its cast sometimes went overboard & too melodramatic, the film captures their relation so well that their clashes of morals & love for each other feels genuine to a considerable extent. An excellent example of its genre, Tae Guk Gi: Brotherhood of War is thoroughly recommended.
