With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of martial arts fans and anyone interested in what war does to people. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal. Shelve it next to Midnight Express. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty, intense.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 53 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
Four highly skilled fighters unite to take on a ruthless criminal gang, battling corruption, murder, and injustice in the wake of the Korean War.
