Movie Reviews

VIET NAM - a Korean persepctive
x-52 | LA, CA United States | 06/19/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a Korean version of... PLATOON, was how this film was marketed when it was released (early 90's?), but it really is a grand attempt at presenting the Korean involvement in the War. At the time it made waves with A list casting, location shooting in Nam (controvercial at the time for Korea) and a huge budget for the action scenes. It is essentially a buddy film of two vets - one who has succesfully adapted to society and one who has not from them dark days in Nam. I highly recommend this piece for those who are not familiar with korean cinema, and those who are interested in seeing the Nam experience from a different perspective."
