Song Kang-ho as the Weird is great as always, steals the show. Jung Woo-sung is huggable as the Good, though under-developed. But Lee Byung-hun as the Bad has a contemporary look and swagger that are wrong, misplaced As the Bad, he's more arrogant than evil. The cinematography an...( read more)
Sadly a wasted chance of doing a classic. Is not just that the script is non-existant, i can live with that in a good action flick, but the characters are pretty much one dimensional cartoons. This comes as a big shock after A Bittersweet Life, a film that above all had great cha...( read more)
