SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
regreg-25683 THE best KR war movie I have seen. Unlike other KR war movies, like the "71 into the fire", just simple war actions, good guys kill bad guys, silly. This movie really has a very profound theme, yet its war action scenes are stunning, but it didn't show off those stunning big battle scenes, it used that to well tell the story and the main message of KR war... a political proxy war... no good or bad sides, solders at front only fight for survival. A war fighting against foreign intruders, is a war worthy fighting for. But Civil war, just a pure tragedy of the nation.
decemberrr Although in Korean, this movie has captured the complete experience of war. It shows the futility of the foolishness of mankind. Eventually, even the supposed winner never wins. This is a most see to all war movie fans! OPINION: The rich and greedy bankers who finance wars use good honest innocent peoples blood and sacrifice to enrich themselves. Look who profits. Iraq, Afghanistan are good present day examples. Do your research and wake up. We free (or so called free) citizens are being duped and sold down the river by these heartless bastards. All in the guise and name of patriotism! America is in big trouble, and being destroyed piece by piece. http://thearizonasentinel.com /2013/12/24/ senior-military-officers-finally-speaking-up/
yoshi-features First review here on IMDb so I'll keep it short.This movie is fresh in my mind as I can literally see the credits fading on the other portion of the screen.This is a great, superbly acted movie about the horrors and futility of war. There really are no "villains" just different shades of grey, as both side is portrayed as just as guilty as the other.It shows both sides of the war and how they are both fighting for control a small piece of land and at the same time continuously asking the question of "why?"There are some moments of camaraderie between the two different sides as well, so it isn't all just blood and guts, yet it is more gruesome than Hollywood films.In summary, if you want to see a good war film aside from the usual Hollywood remakes and rehashes then this one is a good one.
mickeychasetan The Front Line Go-ji-jeon is not as good as Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War, which is one of the best war films from any country. What it does give you is a good example of the futility of war and how events in war can made little sense to a sane person. One of the interesting points in the movie was the signing of the peace documents during the ongoing peace negotiations and see General Mark Wayne Clark's signature focused on. General Mark Wayne Clark was considered by many to be one of the worst examples of the leadership chain in the US Army during World War II, do a little research on Clark and it will help you understand that there were a few very inept Generals in the US military just as there are poor CEO's in the corporate world today. Again very good war flick and another good movie from South Korea.
