a south korean comemoration...

Warning: Spoilers
A historical movie about the coup d'etat 12/12-79, that ended one more of the socalled ''republics'' of south korea, a film that for ordinary people shows what goes wrong when you have far too many star spangeled and salated generals, brigadeers, colonels and majors reigning over large military units on a spot of land smaller than california, and the consequence when they point their weapons at each other, cause some of them cant stand the urge of not climbing further in the ranks, other than becoming head of state...

its a well made film, aka typical south korean thrillerdrama, where there a so many actors in the lead cast making it hard to differ each actor from the others. Had to find the upper and lower rank of military insignia map on wikipedia in the end to differ whos who.

But its a film with a nerve, a bit complicated in the start if you are a virgin to s.k. Politics and armed forces and all the republics that has passed since 2nd world war (they are in the 7th now i think).

Its most of all strong performances on the acts, therefore use 2 hours of your precious life on this domestic disturbance movie from the black part of the manchuchuo-flag, the republic of south korea.

The grumpy old man recommends.
