Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
... View MoreThis story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
... View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreThis has to be the worst film I have ever watched. I couldn't follow the plot, got to 35minutes (where it goes "The beginning" and starts in 1988) but just couldn't watch anymore as it threw me off the story all together. The scene where the guy with no thumbs appears could have been improved so much, it was short and frankly boring...The cover was the only reason I wanted to see the film, it looks epic! Shame the film itself couldn't be the same or even close. The acting is just rubbish too, no emotion at all, everyone is like zombies and if I wanted to see a film full of zombies I would watch Zombieland.DON'T WATCH, Save yourself a few hours...
... View MoreThis has got to be the worst film I've ever seen. It basically plays out like a student film. The acting is awful, the direction is awful, the production values are awful. Making a movie on a low budget can be daunting, but seriously, this is not even worth the time it takes to watch. Story(which is at best, disjointed) and dialogue (poorly written and boring) aside, the direction seems to highlight the awfulness. Very shaky camera work. There seems to be no finesse to this piece of trash, although it very arrogantly would have you believe so. The cover looks epic--the film never even begins to live up to that level of excitement. Here's a hint: if you want to include a character that has had his thumbs cut off, you need to do better than to have your actor HOLD HIS THUMBS UNDER HIS PALMS. Don't assume that the audience is stupid enough to accept that. All around bad; don't even bother. Back to Film 101, Dixon!
... View MoreThe Korean is a movie that requires attention to what is said, action of characters and above all focus. If you have an attention spam of a gnat, don't watch this movie. If you are person who enjoys reading mysteries or fiction books then you will find the Korean interesting. If you are a person who likes things in black and white, clear cut no room for gray areas then Korean is not for you. The use of going back into time is a good tool to explain "nothing is what is seems." There is one scene where the plot seems to drag a little and you wonder if the Director could have shot the scene different. However overall, a good movie, one that on a lazy Sunday or Saturday, watch and enjoy.
... View MoreThe Korean is incomprehensible. And it isn't because it's in a foreign language, unless scrambled is a new tongue. Out of sequence scenes, twists and quick editing might be all the rage for Indy movies. But at some point it has to make sense or be of some interest. Both would be nice, either would help.The Korean doesn't make sense and isn't of interest. A film can often challenge a viewer with trying to figure out what is happening, but it is the film maker's responsibility to provide the viewer with a reason to care. I got none of the above.The acting is flat and emotionless. Did it receive awards? I find that hard to believe. Are film festivals just run by the businesses themselves? How can something this unwatchable be getting rave reviews?Avoid this movie.
