Wonderful, emotional and engrossing
15 July 2001
Great movie, well shot and edited, good music and actors that do an excellent work. So the story with the Swiss/Korean officer investigating the case is very so-so and the idiot that plays the male Swiss (?) officer should not be acting at all - but the film was just about the best film I saw one day at the Jerusalem Film Festival. With only 30 people in the audience and no prep work at all - just a wonderful movie with a lot of things to say about the silliness of war and hostility between two countries that are in fact one nation.

Go see it, you won't regret it, I hope Chan-wook Park goes on doing great stuff like this in the future. Byung-hun Lee (as Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok) is one sexy and talented actor (no wonder Nam Sung-shik falls in love with him...) which I hope to see in other movies. Once again, East Asia produces films that are fresh and fun to see.
