Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019)
Great action sequences and screenplay
This movie was well made and atypical for a Bollywood movie . It's a much needed change after decades of silly nonsense that has been pandered to dumbed down audiences in India.
This movie wastes no time and it was great in depicting special counter terrorism operations of Indian Army. The action sequences are great , on par , the visual effects are second to none.
The script stays true to reality and the director succeeded in capturing a technically sound rendition of a important topic that needed to be brought to modern Indian audiences.
I would watch this again because it's such a well made film. Deserved 9 stars out of 10. Should win an award.
Namhansanseong (2017)
Slow but elaborate and gritty
Medieval Japan tried to invade China by stepping through Korea- which failed due to the Chinese reinforcements and Korean resistance. After that period in a few years China had internal strife. This movie is about the Joseon King struggling to keep fealty to the old Chinese Ming dynasty while defending a hillside fortress in the dead of a long winter siege laid by a Qing invading force.
The acting is great and really comes through even for non-korean viewers. The set is elaborate and costumes are ornate. One of my favorite type of movies. Even though at times the build up is slow and grinding the restrained dynamism is very evocative.
