This is quite possibly one of the best films I have seen this year. The sheer scale of the film and depth of each and every character is exactly what I expect from every great movie. The action and drama is non stop. Allegedly based on a true story, the expanse of the film is as epic as it can get. No one is safe...which is a trend as of late in most Korean films.

I believe this is one of the greatest war films made in the past twenty years. The action scenes are as good as it gets. It should be watched by all. It's also a treat to see some of my favorite Japanese actors in various roles throughout the film as Japanese officers. Very well done. Insane budget.
