barely deeper than a footprint, but so much fun you’ll forget you care
This movie is fantastic, exhilarating and fun. High dramatic art it is not.

It’s a movie about a chase for treasure, and it holds onto that and never forgets. In the pursuit of creating a chase, everything is crafted carefully. The cinematography is breathtaking, with huge elaborate sets that are used to their fullest. Most of the stunts and effects are real, CGI being kept to a minimum. It is an action movie with actual action instead of pixels, a rarity in movies from the past 10 years. Stunning candy for all the senses, it gets your adrenaline pumping! As far as acting goes, it is excellent. Korean comic actor Song Kang-Ho fills the “Weird” role of Tae-Goo, pulling off a combination of humanity and quirkiness. Lee Byung-Hun is the ‘bad’ character, brutal and insane as gangster Chang-Yi. Filling out the main three is Jung Woo-Son as the cool, collected and more than a little arrogant bounty hunter Do-Won. While Jung is eclipsed by the other two, his character ultimately became my favorite during the climax. The supporting cast is none-too-shabby either, playing everything from military dropouts to ninjas, all well. Particularly entertaining are the leaders of a group of Manchurian gangsters, who watch insanity take place and calmly discuss it from horseback.

Now, while the acting is good…there is not a lot of it. I don’t think anyone is going to try to pretend this is a character-driven piece. It could have been, maybe, but it wasn’t try to be. It was trying to be fun. There is enough character development so that when the climax rolls around after two madcap hours of amazing action, you care that the characters lives are being threatened. That’s…all.

But the action is extremely well done, with a heart-pounding score that makes it all the well fun. For entertainment, you aren’t going to get much more well-done for this. Supremely fun, with scenes shot with people, horses, cars and real pyrotechnics in the middle of the Gobi desert (too much CGI and spectacle just becomes yawn-worthy, I often fun). So get the DVD, get some popcorn, turn the sound WAY up and prepare for a beautifully-crafted action movie. Not for a complex character-driven masterpiece.

Movies with lots of gun fights are….
My expectations for this film were through the roof. It’s basically a Korean all-star game: directed by Ji-woon Kim, he of A Bittersweet Life and A Tale of Two Sisters fame (not to mention The Quiet Family), and starring three of Korea’s finest (or at least most popular) actors, Woo-sung Jung, Byung-hun Lee, and (one of my favorite actors, Korean or otherwise) Kang-ho Song.

The production values are top notch, the direction creative and self-assured, the special effects worth the time and money spent on them. I love the kill scenes as directed by Kim, especially one of the first ones where a guy is running from train car to train car, bursting through doors like they don’t exist and then BAM! He’s five feet behind where he was. You have to see it to appreciate it, I guess. The timing and the focus on the result instead of the impact makes the impact seem more impactful. Whoever edited this film did a great job.

Woo-sung Jung plays the Good, and he’s a cute guy who oozes goodness, so that’s good. His character is perhaps a bit under-played/under-developed but that’s the nature of Good, isn’t it? Byung-hun Lee as the Bad has a little bit too much contemporary in his swagger and look. He’s more arrogant than Bad, but we’re supposed to dislike him so that’s good too. Not surprisingly, it’s Kang-ho Song, as the Weird, who steals the show. He runs through this movie like a chicken or a turkey with its head cut off but never misses a beat. He’s having a good time and makes sure that we do too. He’s able to do things that many other actors are incapable of like delivering predictable lines with equal parts sincerity and irony so that we won’t even think of groaning out loud. He’s so adorably slightly plump and likable that even when … well, I don’t want to give it away … we like him. We really do.

Caught up in all the fun and excitement I almost forgot that, with very few exceptions, movies with lots of gun fights are stupid.
