Brotherly love and the smell of napalm.
Similar in tone to Saving Private Ryan, Brotherhood (known as Taegukgi in its homeleand of Korea) is a powerful box office hit which deserves to find an audience in this country.
The action is exilirating, not to mention exausting. The most expensive film in Korean history, fifteen million pounds to be precise and boy do they make it count. Amazing how cheap it is to make movies in the East, you couldn't even get Tom Cruise for that kind of money, though it would be quite nice to blow him up.
Brutal, realistic and emotionally charged, the movie tells the tale of the lenghs that two brothers will go to in order protect one another in the midst of war. Throw in a handful of alarming twists and Taegukgi is certainly up there with the best of modern war movies.
Perhaps the drama is a little over sentimental at times but for me that just added to the drama. That and the bottle of wine i was drinking at the time.
Brotherhood is a fantasic piece of movie making though and demands to be seen. -

Wow - Very impressive
This film was a total surprise. I didn't realise Korea was capable of producing such quality. A gripping script, first class acting and action/battle special effects to rival Saving Private Ryan. Much better seen with subtitles than dubbed. The final scene left me with damp eyes. A real belter of a film!I won't spoil it by saying anything more...just watch it.
