This film will be one of the blockbusters on the Korean Filmweek in Hungary! The comments are not very positive about it, but I think I go and watch it myself on a big screen! :)
This film is very difficult to follow mainly because there are so many characters and it's not instantly clear who is good and who is not. I wouldn't recommend this for the action film enthusiasts who just want to enjoy the action. You need to use your brains- a lot. The acting of the English speaking people really sucks and has a lowering impact on the film overall since it's a big part of it. Very average film in my opinion.
I would recommend Joint Security Area if you are interested in the north/south divide, King2Hearts doesn't have much to do with the reality of it in my opinion.
@janegreen have you seen 'The King2Hearts' ????? I really loved it..... bc it's similar to your second reason in this movie......hoffe du hast verstanden was ich meinte.... LOL (is Freitag..Hirn arbeitet aus StandBy)
I liked the movie for two reasons: First, it was set in Berlin, my beloved city. I just loved the sights and how I could guess where they are at the moment. Second, it's one of very few movies where North Koreans are shown as human beings with actual feelings. It's a rare thing, coz mostly they're just shown as people trained for emotionless killing.
Apart from that it was just nice. Nothing exciting, just another movie to watch on boring Sunday afternoon.
