Three Stars of Review!

Bullets, bullets, and more bullets! People exploding, legs being shot off, and bullets! This homage to 80's Hollywood action was the biggest budget film to come out of Korea at the time, and it's inventive and silly enough to hold your attention. It doesn't do anything that you haven't seen before, but it does it all well, and offers up enough plot that you'll want to stick with it to the end. Fans of Korean cinema will note the actors who starred in The Host and Old Boy. Not to mention Yunjin Kim of Lost fame. Bullets!
