I remember reading about this when it came out. I just don't remember what the reviews said - I hope they were not very good. This Korean flick is a mess. It's supposed to be a semi-modern gangster flick mixed with a Sergio Leone western. Personally, I could not get past the guys in modern shoes (rubber lug soles) riding horses and wearing goth clothes. Riding along next to a Clint Eastwood type in a long duster and cowboy hat, plus a band of Mongolian warriors. This was just a mess.
There are two good things about this movie - first is Kang-ho Song, a Korean star of movies like The Host and Thirst and Memories of a Murder. He's awesome as the Weird. The art direction is also great - colorful and imaginative and fun. Neither, however, could make up for the crap script, messed-up camera shots and weird editing. Pass on this.
