The Brotherhood of War
I saw The Brotherhood of War, I thought this is one of the best movies that I've seen in a while. It's a Korean movie about the Korean war. The story is pretty much Holywoody where the younger and sickly brother is drafted to join the army and the elder and strong brother enlisted to protect him.
For the first 20 minutes or so I was afraid that this movie will be biased toward the South point of view, well it does actually but not by much. In fact it shows both the atrocities committed by both the North and the South Korean. The production is excellent and the stunts are nothing short of extraordinary. IIRC from the cover of the DVD they used 3000 stunts for this movie.
So in short good story, if not a bit too much cliche, amazing battle scenes not too shabby acting as well. I think I'll give it 4/5.
