Featured review
A gentle movie with lots of laughs and some real heart
As a long term wrestling fan in Australia I viewed this movie with some trepidation based on the description in our cable movie guide. I was pleased to find the 'blurb' was nothing like the real thing and my interest was well rewarded.
As others reviewers have commented, this film is a mix of two themes interwoven with action/comedy sequences and the boringness of being in banking.
My only disappointment was the ending. Perhaps because I am not Korean I may have missed the significance of some key things along the way.
This is a great film for those who enjoy a good laugh, some great wrestling action wrapped in a cultural gentleness which could teach us in 'the west' something about life.
For me, 8.5 out of 10.
