I thought this was a very entertaining hybrid of a movie. Action, Spaghetti western and martial arts film combined with a good deal of humor. Some really amazing photography and great set design.

I have owned this on Blu-ray for like two years now and not even taken the shrink wrap off. I will watch this and soon and contribute more then.Rock! Shock! Pop! -
I watched this last year and really enjoyed it too. Definitely worth ripping that shrink wrap off, Ian.
I like Ji-Woon's films, although I haven't seen his first two features yet. I'm curious how his Hollyweird debut, THE LAST STAND, will fare.'You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. Still the same. Pissholes in the snow'

I thought it was an entertaining enough movie but I seem to remember thinking that it went on a little too long....but maybe that is just me getting old and not able to last longer than 2 hours when watching a movie....
As for his previous movies...
QUIET FAMILY was a classic when it came out...not seen it for a while though...
FOUL KING.....same..classic
TALE OF TWO SISTERS...once again....excellent movie
BITTERSWEET LIFE...Pretty good too!
I SAW A DEVIL.....Amazing movie...although the story is pretty simple, the acting from the leads and the direction are pretty much spot on.....violent little film too!!Comment

These are the two I haven't seen yet. Any recommendations on DVD releases for either film? :)Originally posted by sukebanboy View Post
If I had to draw up a list of 25 or so favourite films, A BITTERSWEET LIFE would definitely be in it. I love that movie.'You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. Still the same. Pissholes in the snow'

Coming 12/2/24 from Arrow.
In the 1930s, three gun-toting Koreans converge on a train with different objectives but after an explosive altercation they leave it with the same goal: track down a map leading to an unfathomable treasure. The ‘Good’ is bounty hunter Park Do-won (Jung Woo-sung), who is chasing down the ‘Bad’, the ruthless bandit Park Chang-yi (Lee Byung-hun), rumoured to be the notorious ‘Finger Cutter’. Meanwhile, wily thief Yoon Tae-goo (Song Kang-ho), the ‘Weird’, is on the hunt for anything he can get his hands on. Backs are stabbed, fingers are cut, and many bullets fly as this dangerous trio blast their way through the desert in search of untold riches.
