Saulabi (2002)
Not that bad
I don't understand why this movie has such bad comments and ratings.
While it's not a cult movie, it's still a good one IMHO.
Seemingly, there are not enough action/fight scenes for the detractors of the film, or not good enough ones.
But is it necessary to have plenty of action to make a good film ??? I wonder !!! There can be more to a movie than just battles after battles.
Furthermore, the acting was not that bad neither, and there were interesting personages in nice settings and nice period costumes.
The story is about the daughter of a Japanese lord who must marry the master of her father against her will... and her love for a warrior of another land and the enmity between the rival factions...
I quite enjoyed this movie and recommend it.
Fans of action films, go watch some Jean-Claude Vandame movies instead!
8/10
Gonggongui jeog (2002)
Great Movie with a flaw that spoiled my pleasure!
The good thing is about the bad guy in the movie... the text on the DVD box told about a corrupt cop vs. a psychopath... Well, I feared the psychopath was a serial killer with all the nauseating, fetishist rituals stuff "a la" Seven or other movies alike. But the killer is almost a normal guy (as much as a killer can be a "normal guy"!), killing with a purpose... Well, the guy is seriously crazy anyway, killing for very trivial motives, such as a man spilling his drink on him.
The bad thing in the movie is a kind of a scatological scene. It may seem trivial for some people, but for me, it wasted my enjoyment. Apart from that and 2 or 3 bloody sequences this is a very good movies.
