Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The film does offer Western viewers rare access to another country's innermost anxieties and contradictions, and as such is a fascinating document.
Fresh: Thanks to its excess, and even at 140 minutes, Tae Guk Gi always entertains, just like Pearl Harbor and the rest of the best of Hollywood's dumb war movies.
Fresh: Successfully combines audience-friendly sentimentality with absolutely grueling combat footage and an unexpected but unmistakable hostility toward the entire notion of war.
Rotten: At times the performances seem more akin to the histrionics of old silent movies, when emotions had to be seen because they couldn't be heard.

Amazing movie
Being in the military and a huge history/war movie buff I was suprise I hand't heard about this one. Was almost about to skip since no option to rent but very glad I decided to buy. This movie is simply amazing and is a much watch. Like a Korean Saving Private Ryan only much more emotionally deep.
Very Moving
